Honeymoon Video - Zip Wires Through the Jungle!
October 19th, 2005 — honeymoon, video, wedding
OK
Thought I’d encode and finally post some videos from the honeymoon. First up - we went to a place in the jungle/rain forest/vegetated area on Koh Samui where we could walk up through the jungle and then go on zip wires from platform to platform down towards a waterfall at the other end.
Very cool!

This is just so wrong. The teddynappers have sent by childhood friend and teddy bear, freddy teddy, off to what genuinely appears to be Paris Airport. Sent to me by email, with the subject of “Au revoir!”
Gigs!

Gemma Hayes - KCLSU (Kings College London Students Union), 7th October.
As part of my effort to re-educate my wife into an appreciation of decent music (her last live gig was attempting to see Westlife for pity’s sake), we went along to see the lovely Gemma Hayes on her triumphant return to the UK, preceeding her new album to be released at the end of the month.
The new material was great, the new band are certainly different, but a change can do you good, and it’s good to have Gemma back from the musical wilderness, having temporarily lost her mojo. Fortunately she found it after a 2 year absence from the music scene in L.A.
Awesome to see Gemma live again.
We had a good view from the balcony above the door (overlooking backstage). Never been to KCLSU before - good venue.
Loved the new material.
Wasn’t too sure about the new keys to begin with … I’m not sure if his levels were screwed slightly (and that damn buzz!) - I noticed him more than any of the other band, and occasionally that was a distraction to Gemma, but I think he redeemed himself on Hanging Around. The man looks like he’s gonna collapse every time he gets up to play. That or his forehead’s gonna hit the keys before his hands do. Think his name was Adam (”also known as the White Black Man” according to Gem.)
I love Happy Sad.
Go the guy that shouted out for “Stop The Wheel” (only to elicit a response of “Oh yeah …” from Gem. You reckon it’s been consigned to the old school Gemma Hayes days?). Also well done to the bloke around the bar shouting out that she was, indeed, “Easy on the Eyes”
I’m glad she got such an awesome response from Evening Sun. She seems to get so nervous - bless Smile
We were laughing about the crazy dancing white haired dude 3 from the front. No one else seemed to be in his groove …
Anywho - next up, KT Tunstall, at the Shepherds Bush Empire, this Friday (21st). Fresh from winning best single for “Black Horse and The Cherry Tree” at this year’s Q Music Awards, I’ve just found out that the support is gonna be Ed Harcourt! Hooray! I own two of the mans albums (”Here be Monsters” and “From Every Sphere”), and it’ll be an awesome bonus to see him play live.
We’re off to Wales for a week the day after to gig, but we’ll blog upon our return.
Laters!
