What we saw from the (not so) cheap seats

Yesterday Miriam and I headed off to London to see Regina Spektor at the Royal Albert Hall.

We set off at midday and were in our accomodation by 5ish. We were due to meet up with Lydia our daughter at the RAH before the show so we grabbed something to eat and then went to get a taxi. This proved to be easier said than done. I've found before that if they see a wheelchair they are less inclined to stop, so I used the plan that's worked before. I hid Miriam in the hotel foyer and hailed a cab myself, this worked a treat and soon we were on our way.
The cab driver asked what we were seeing at the RAH and when told we got the usual response of "Who !"
We get this a lot but most people know her without knowing it as this 32 year old Russian/American pianist with her quirky brand of Anti-Folk gets used in movies a lot, such as Prince Caspian,500 Days of Summer and In Bruges.
She played a great set with songs from her new album 'What we saw from the cheap seats' interspersed with oldies from all her back catalogue.

When she finished the audience gave her a rousing applause and she came back to give four more songs for an encore, starting with Us, Fidelity,Hotel Song and Samson.
I first saw her three years ago in Hyde Park and this was so much better.
