Marina and the Diamonds -Burger Queen Tour: 25/10/10

Hello there loves! I hope you've all had an enjoyable start to the week? 
If you follow me on Twitter or you watch me blog closely, you'll know that on monday I was planning to go to a Marina and the Diamonds concert live in Bristol. And I went and it was amazing! It was in Anson Rooms in Bristol and it was on from 07:30pm until 10:30pm. It was the second proper concert I've been to and so it was very exciting as you can tell! I went with Marianne from over at 'My Life' (i'll add a link in the comment box). 
For the first 5-6 hours of the day we went shopping in Bristol town centre and purchased from shops including Zara, Topshop, HMV & Primark. Believe it or not, I'd never been to a 'Zara' before this little trip! The only things I got was 2 pin badges which I thought were so cute, to remind me of Bristol. The first one was sort of Jack Wills based and said "Stay Calm. Make a Tea" and the second one was a Hello Kitty one. We took loads of pictures so if you'd like to see some random Bristol pics then comment below and I'll be sure to put some up. 
When we got to Anson Rooms (via Taxi) the line was SO long it went down most of the road. I would say there was already a good 300 people in that line and more came. When we got in (surprisingly very fast), we were second from the front so we had a great view of what was going on (and great for any raging photographers like myself) there was a kind of front band to we play about 8 songs before Marina actually performed. They were the fabulous The Cock'n'Bull Kid!
They were actually very good and the lead singer had very powerful vocals. The band was also very good (especially the drums and keyboard).


When Marina eventually came on she was talking to us (obviously as a whole room) and she just sounded so genuine and such a great person! She performed about 12 of her best songs including my favourites; "I am not a robot" and "Obsessions". She had 4 costume changes, all of which were absoloutly stunning! Overall I defiantly would see her live again and we both acted like such screaming girls when she came on!
The best part had to be the little shop outside selling merchandise though (what can I say? I'm a sucker for a cute shop) and I managed to nab a 5 side poster which cost me £5. And just as we were waiting outside for my Dad to pick us up, a body-guard came by and told us she was signing down the road. So we were the first to get ours signed. Right now, it's hanging to my bedroom wall. Overall, AMAZING NIGHT!


Don't believe me?
