Picking out what to wear was tricky as the UK had been experiencing a horrible heat wave all week – I stayed in the house the whole time – and my usual black velvet jeans were likely to be too hot. In the end I wore my floaty cotton Disturbia 'Blythe' dress, and took my recently-completed jackety thing for after the gig, in case the night was coolish. Anyway, we had a great time. Metallica were fantastic. They play a 'local' song at every gig; we'd been discussing what it might be. They went for the option we'd thought most likely, and did a cover of Tom Jones' 'Delilah' halfway through, with the audience singing along. And no audience sings along like a Welsh one! Sooooo many future projects! No...
