On Friday night I was invited along to the initial screening of Lycanthropy. Very cool, as not even the directors had seen it on the big screen yet. Even though didn’t think that it would be my type of movie (being more into romantic comedies – I am a chick after all), it actually exceeded my expectations. It reminded me of CSI (which I do like) without the close ups of the scientific explanations. It was well good. Look out for it when it comes out – I recommend it.

Saturday I was at Guilfest to see Music Roll Exchange on stage. Other notables were Mohair and Aha. The rest of the day was spent checking out other bands and catching up with the band and a few bevies.

A few of us tried to check out the Tin Pan Alley Festival on Sunday but it was a night mare to into the street so we went to De Hems near Leicester Square for a drink. Then decided to listen to the bands from right behind the stage by sitting in the garden of Saint Giles-In-The-Fields church. The history that surrounds you in London is great. Saint Giles was founded as a leper hospital in 1101 by Queen Matilda becoming a parish church in 1547 and this present church being built in 1734. Parish Registers dating from 1561 contain half a million names including a whole bunch I didn’t know but the ones that I did were Milton (Paradise Lost I think), Shelley (Frankenstein), Byron (Poet) and Plunket (something to do with babies?).
