Flashback Thursday: seeing Zooey Deschanel in the flesh!

Back in 2010, just after dying my blonde locks brown, before I lost a heap of weight and before Jonathan and I had met, I went to London to watch She & Him. I'm a huge fan of their music and have been since I first heard their beautiful, easy-listening sound, so when I heard they were coming to the UK I snapped up some tickets.

They were superb live, and the small venue meant we were super close to the stage. Zooey is absolutely tiny in real life and, of course, very beautiful.

Unfortunately the camera I had back then didn't cope well with their louder songs plus the sound cut out when I zoomed in (#fail) but never mind. I still managed to put together a few video clips and I thought, in the spirit of "Flashback Thursday" which I have seen floating around Instagram and Twitter, I would share the video once more.

I store all of my videos on Vimeo, as You Tube scares the living daylights out of me, so feel free to have a nosy if you're bored!

Hobbies.

I used to be so musical - guitar, keyboard, percussion, choir(!) - but as I got older I gave up and of course now completely regret it! So, with the help of you tube and the t'internet I am attempting to teach myself. It should be interesting considering I have little patience.

Can you play? If so I am massively jealous. I need a teacher who doesn't mind being paid in cups of tea and biscuits!

She & Him - video montage!

As you know (because I have been talking about it non stop) I went to see She & Him on Friday night at Koko in London (Camden to be precise). 4 of us headed down to London early on Friday morning and we arrived at our hotel in the afternoon.

I was so excited for the gig not only because I love She & Him and their music, but also because I am obsessed with Zooey Deschanel and I couldn't believe I would be seeing her in the flesh!

We managed to get quite near to the front which is a good job because Zooey is tiny. She looks slim on the tv but she was even shorter and slimmer than I thought she would be. And her hair! Just perfect :)

Her voice was amazing live. Every song was a delight - but it all went too quickly! Come back to the UK soon (please!)

Here's a little montage of the evening. I didn't get any footage of her support act, The Chapin Sisters, who also did backing vocals for her, but they were brilliant too.
