I am not a robot - marina and the diamonds gig

Last Wednesday me and my "gigging" partner Nicki mossyed on over to Queens student union to see Marina and the diamonds. As she isnt really a Big name yet the tickets were prices at £11 which was fab! And quite an odd mix of fans there as well.
The support act was another female who had a great voice but was wearing an odd get up...some people lik Paloma faith, marina get away with wearing mis matched clothese... this girl in her gold harem pants and lips t shirt just looked bit odd

Marina came on looking extremely cool.. wearing massive big red glasses....and sounding wicked. She has a fab voice and a great stage presence which the support (even tho good) lacked. Unfortunately i hadnt download the album so really only recvognised the few popular songs... I am not a robot was immense as was hollywood.
Was slightly disappointed that the gig only lasted 1 hr and that was including 2 songs as an encore though in that time she managed to wear 3 different outfits. The band (thou not the diamonds as i had originally thought few weeks back) were also very dapper in their bow ties.
Appareently "the diamonds" are in fact the audience who she interacts with!

all in all, well worth the £11 and will b "watching this space". For me - nxt stop Paul Weller and Ellie Goulding!
