we went tonight, watched the procession from the north side, the procession was pretty good, took about an hour to pass us, then watched status quo to some sort of tv show on a boat, and then watched the excellent fireworks

well Saturday was so crap (save for a good Natty Bo DJ set) that even the lure of seeing Ska Cubano for about the 70th time this summer couldn't drag us out of bed.

I had to bail out early due to general knackerdness.. However on my way home all my dreams came true as I saw Bruce Forsyth, Gloria Hunniford, Ulrika Johnssen and, err, Jeremy Beadle amongst others..
Seriously? On my travels I noticed there was something afoot at the London Telivision Centre. Some kind of awards thing maybe? Lots of people with autograph books were crammed up against a barrier but I didn't see you among their number.
Anyway.. Yeah Mukka were a folky tranylvanian band and there was also Tantry on before them who were Polish. Mukka seem to feature belly dancers of some ilk, and played shouty folk songs that got faster and faster to make drunk people trip over their left feet

It was part of the ITV 50th birthday thingy. They are doing a 'walk of stars' in Covent Garden and the Quo on the boat with fireworks was part of the live show last night...
, we were opposite the boat, on the north side, watching the quo mime really badly...

The highlights for me were the Hextatic projecting light onto jets of water thing. The pictures weren't perfect but you could usually work out what was going on and the music was an inspired mix of everything from techno and drum and bass to Nancy Sinatra, Led Zepellin and erm, Cliff Richard. Ska Cubano were brilliant too, if I'd had the energy I would have danced for the whole set and not just the first few songs. Natty Bo appears to have a new co-singer, out goes the guy who can't speak English and does rubbish magic tricks and in comes a lively guy who looks like Sammy Davis Jnr.
Was a shame the Latin bit was so far away from everything else.
