Here - just in case you missed it. But I really wouldn't bother going. It'll be shit.

The Liz bit I would like to see although its not clear how long shes on stage.

This however sounds awful.

Among them are Diamanda Galas, a performance artist known for her howls, shrieks and moans - set against film projections and tape loops which portray human suffering.

You probably won't be surprised to hear that I'm a fan of Diamanda Gallas and have many of her records.

The description doesn't really do her justice since she's a successful opera singer as well, and has a momumental vocal range.

It is true, however, that a woman once dashed out of my house in tears when I played a Diamanda Gallas record at a party. It can be harrowing.

Have got some Diamanda Galas records, too. Saw a performance of hers in the mid-1980s.

Listened to the record she did with John Paul Jones recently, too.

Like three Cocteau Twins records.

Does "bint" rhyme with the Welsh word for "pound?"

Sort of rhymes with flint.

So has Rob Halford and I don't listen to his records either.
