'Not so great in England at the moment;  in an online poll we came last, we actually came bottom of European countries for quality of life, because of things like the weather... obviously... late retirement, poor holiday, poor public services, poor health service; it's basically just a kind of grey, godless wilderness, full of cold pies and broken dreams.' - Bill Bailey  comedic musician extraordinaire!  (part troll and a kind of klingon)   

Wednesday 2nd November 2011

Last night was wonderful!  I took my son on a pre-birthday treat to see Bill Bailey perform his 'Dandelion Mind' show in Birmingham.  To say we had a blast would be a total understatement!  I've always been addicted to Bill's surreal style of musical madness, but every time I see this genius troll descendant (who also claims to have possible klingon roots) perform his mesmerizing acts of pure, side-splitting hilarity, I'm thankful to be alive! 

As I'm part elf myself, 'twas wonderful to meet a genuine hobbit... and I must say, he was the most charming creature I've ever met! :D  I have to thank his crew for being so kind and friendly (especially a lovely blonde lady with a New Zealand accent (hope I got that right!) who introduced us to his tour manager... a cool Scottish man who brought Bill out to meet us.  Please support Britain's funniest man by buying 'Dandelion Mind' DVD (now available on Amazon and all other good online music stores in region 1 and 2)
