Blaze of Glory
I went to see Mike Peters & The Alarm at The Electric Ballroom in London. The band played material from the new Blood Red album alongside all the classic songs of the last 35+ years. Although I started off watching the concert halfway back, I ended up watching a large part of it nearer the back, so photo opportunities were limited. Towards the end I went upstairs and took this crowd shot during 'Blaze Of Glory'. The only gap I found to take the photo meant I wasn't able get the band in it too. However sometimes it's interesting focusing on the crowd. "MY HANDS ARE HELD UP HIGH"

It was also really nice to go to a gig and see so many people who I have gotten to know over the last 18 months. In days gone by I would have kept very much to myself, but through the amazing support from so many fans of The Alarm for the Lives & Times bowel cancer book, I have made some lovely new friendships. It only took me about 33 years!

Blood Red by Mike Peters & The Alarm
The postie has done well this week. On Monday I got my copy of Blood Red, the new long-awaited album by Mike Peters & The Alarm. I can't really give an objective opinion on it, other than its flippin' terrific. In fact if I ever meet Mrs Darvell I think I have discovered my first dance at the wedding! Today my ticket for The Gathering next February arrived too, so that's something to look forward to. The only minor blemish was the limited edition music package was missing a promo CD, so I am hoping that can be sorted soon...
