sigh of relief

I see Lulu's upcoming tour has had dates added "due to public demand" :mysmilie_15: Thankfully none are near to where I live !!! can you imagine the congestion on the roads due to traffic queues fighting for a parking space ?:mysmilie_500:

Oh, has she moved outside the Butlin's tour?:mysmilie_15:

Don't worry Brissles if you can't make it she'll probably sell a DVD of the show on QVC...it'll make the perfect Xmas/Mothers' Day/Engagement or Bar Mitzvah present!

I'm hoping she'll take the stage at the V Festival here in Chelmsford this summer. The crowds would stay away in droves thus relieving the 3-day gridlock on our roads and the crowds of blokes queuing to use the hedges in Tesco's car park as a urinal.

I think the queues are more likely to be from traffic escaping the towns/cities to avoid all that SHOUTING!!!:nod:

I wouldn't count on it, they loved her at Glastonbury last year.

I'm not a fan but her version of The Man Who Sold The World is pretty good.But then it was produced by David Bowie himself.I like To Sir With Love,the film ,being an Eastender it makes me very nostalgic .

I won't be joining the frenzy to see Lulu though.I can see her flogging a Cd on Q.

The only one of her songs I ever really liked, although the theme song to "To Sir, With Love" (the film was on TV a few months ago) wasn't bad. Didn't she do the theme song to one of the Bond films, although without checking I can't remember which film it was (The Man with the Golden Gun?).

There seems to be a thing recently at Glastonbury that if you are over a certain age the very fact that you can stand on your own seems to elevate you to being an icon even if you can no longer reach the notes.

I think she has always been a superb performer, right from the start when she was only a very young teenager.

And she looks better now than she did then. It must be the LULU skin creams that she mixes up during breaks in the recording studio.

According to the gang of young things I work with, who all trudge off to wallow knee deep in Glastonbury mud every year, "Lulu was ****** brilliant!"

But would those young things be seen dead at Butlins to see her perform one wonders ?
