Florence + The Machine
Just spent an utterly crazy week going to three nights of their four night stand at Alexandra Palace. And, amazingly (to me, anyway), I spent all of them down the front jumping up and down, singing along and generally waving my arms about like the twenty year old I used to be a long time ago... I actually feel 20-30 years younger than I did this time last week (I realised this morning, knackered as I am, I'm without back pain for the first time in 4-5 months).
Anyhoo... I'd been listening a lot to the albums over the last few months, but hadn't really managed to figure out whether I thought much of guitarist Rob Ackroyd. I do now, big time. Obviously, Florence herself is the main focal point (WHAT a voice she has), but the band is stunning, and Rob Ackroyd is spot-on in what he does.
