# Don't worry,
I went to see Girls Aloud when my girlfriend won free tickets. There's no shame in it.
Admittedly, I only went because of the free hotel and drinks.

Moby, who was supporting, was freakin ACE!

# Yeah,
I do have to admit, I loved Parachutes when it came out, and I quite enjoyed parts of X and Y. But my biggest problem is that twat who sings for them. I think as well, it is a subtle bit of retribution for winning free VIP tickets to see Velvet Revolver a few years back, and free tickets to V last year and many more free tickets :)

# Well I can tell you how with some of them:
Velvet Revolver - Carling Live (They used to give away loads of free tickets through comps on their website, I dont know if they still do)
The Brakes and The Pipettes - Carling Live
V Festival - Drunk vs Stoned on Virgin Radio
Brian Wilson - A friend worked for the Royal Festival Hall and got me 2 free tickets to see the World Premiere of That Lucky Old Sun (A Narrative)
Elbow @ Somerset House - A Grolsch comp I think
and others I'm sure :)

The best one was V Festival though, not just because of the bands I saw, Newton Faulkner, Jet, Ocean Colour Scene, Boy Kill Boy, but because when I was coming out of the loos, some woman stopped me and asked if I wanted to buy a raffle ticket, which I did for £1, and I won a Gibson SG :D

# I like Girls Aloud
except the racist one
and the fliddy Irish one
and the ginger one
and the one that looks like she smells of old wee

how many are left?

# Too many.
I've never been to a gig where there were so many costume changes. Fortunately, this meant more time without them singing.
