I was sat facing Hawley (Jarvis was a metre to my right) and during Sheffield: Sex City we both started jiggling our legs about in a kind of mental "sitting down but need to dance" kind of way. He gave me a hug afterwards - coincidence? smile


Here's a photo I sneakily took at the Crucible (I have ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA why it's decided to be upside down.)

Watched it this afternoon and found it quite mesmerising. I loved the tantalising scenes of men balancing precariously during the construction of the Tyne Bridge. Jarv Girl, on the night did they play right through the whole film or did they stop inbetween tracks? I'll probably get the DVD but wouldn't mind a soundtrack album for going out & about with.

 A track listing has appeared on the Storyville page now, they can't spell Mackey. I was really impressed the way it all flowed together so well and the familiar songs were used in different arrangements to suit the film - this listing here just has Nick credited for Sheffield Sex City for example. I also loved Being Boiled at the beginning done with the orchestra despite it being my favourite synth track ever - heard it live a couple of years ago when I went to see Heaven 17, made the whole room vibrate eerily.

It was played through as one continuous piece. The film was projected onto a screen and the band live soundtracked just as it was heard in the finished programme.

That's pretty impressive. Must have taken quite a bit of rehearsing.

You could see how nervous Jarvis was before they started and afterwards he was definitely pleased with how it went, he was joking around with us. 

Candida said she thought it was brilliant.

One of the articles on the Storyville website talks about how they couldn't get all the musicians together in one place until the actual day, they were still rehearsing about an hour beforehand and the rehearsal didn't go that well. So no wonder Jarvis looked nervous. Martin Wallace also said he only became involved 2 months beforehand, in April, and they had a few manic sessions of a few days each together going through it all, all sounds very frantic.
