Florence and the Machine

[mike46]

haven't seen much mentioned about her?

Only recently started listening to her, but am loving her at the moment! whats she like live?

[norainplease]

Don't know what she is like live apart from what I saw of her a one big weekend on the telly a few weeks back - but she was awesome there and I definately going to see her at Glasto!!

[mr cambo]

I like what I've heard, and I've also seen her live at Brixton with the NME tour (Glasvegas, White Lies, Friendly Fires).

She was great. It was a rather large venue for her to perform in, but she had the crowd enjoying themselves.

I'm looking forward to the album, and I'll see you at the JP stage when she's on.

Saw her on the NME tour, and at Leeds last year - was easily the surprise highlight of the weekend at Leeds, and very good on the tour, not sure what she'll be like on a bigger stage though (can't remember, isn't it the other stage they're playing? )... definitely worth catching anyway, one of the best new voices around atm

Edit: Ooh, John Peel stage, sorry about that >.<

[tinpottery]

Really looking forward to her performance.

[CrispyRed]

I saw her at Brixton earlier this year when her dress fell apart and she had to finish the performance in her undies. A model professional and the boys down the front thoroughly enjoyed it

[ig1234]

Seen her quite a few times now, usually excellent.

First time was in the Guardian Lounge 2 years ago, she came on unannounced and a capella, and blew us all away.

[freeak]

She was amazing live at bestival last year

I'M IN DOUBLE POST HELL

[coolethan]

This made me lol, what is double post hell?!

Anyway yeah shes good, well i only really like Kiss with a fist. WHAT A CHOON! only heard 2 others and havent been overly impressed....maybe i was in a hard to please mood.

[crashnburn]

she was good late on at bestival last year dog day is a quality tune

[dieweener]

Definitely one I will be going to see, that's for true!

[JoeyDeacon]

I saw her last year up at Trash City on the Friday I think, after receiving tip-offs on this very forum. She was excellent, despite it not being particularly busy up there at the time. We also went to see her again in the Queen's Head on the Sunday, where she was again excellent.

The wife went to see her at a church in Salford last night and said it was the best she'd seen her, and one of the best gigs she's been to (she's been to a LOT of gigs, working in music) and will most definitely be seeing her at this year's Glastonbury.

[pineapple-tea]

A lot of people seem to debate on how high she is during her performances.

She has a very *different* dancing style.

She's very good, though.

My Florence and the Machine story..

At the end of last year I was chatting with Harry Enfield (I'm not normally so cool, it was the Eye annual signing after an Evening with Private Eye at the NT!), and he said to me "Have you heard of Florence and the Machine?". Strangely I had seen the name somewhere, but didn't know the music, so to be safe I said "No". "Well", he replies, "you're not cool then". Apparently they were No 17 in the Observer "Cool List" for 2009. Quick as a flash, I replied "Where are you on the list", and he just glared at me!

THE GLORIOUS ONE-TIME WIT, MR SAM CRAWLEY, TRIUMPHS!!

Anyway, I'll go back to being an anonymous broke loser now!

[mr cambo]

Did you know this is Florence's mum??
