Right Then, Bye
March 21st, 2008
What an amazing crowd and fun show it was last night – thank you London and other parts of Europe and the UK. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a more excited crowd. Turns out there are plenty of geeks over here too, and to them I say “cheers” and “jolly good” and whatever it is you say over here when things are awesome.
I’m at Gatwick right now eating sausage and preparing to return to my homeland, the United States of America. See you tomorrow Atlanta – bring your A game…
Tickets to england where to damn expensive otherwise me and a friend would have come over from the netherlands :S
Next time in holland JoCo
SUCH a brilliant show last night, thanks so much again, and I was so excited when First of May was your encore! I will treasure my diary now forevermore. Hehehe. 10am, it’s practically an order. Come back soon!
Thursday was a brilliant gig, thanks for coming!
Awesome, just back in bonnie Scotland after a couple of days abroad in the heathen south. Great trip, incredible gig, great audience. (Although if you were at the table with Thomas and the DS crowd…remember …. there’s a fine line between fandom and stalking…. ;oD)
More concert video please!
Jonathan — dude, you’re huge!
… as in hugely world-dominating, I mean.
Thanks for the show, JoCo! I have written a review: http://www.last.fm/user/fragsta/journal/2008/03/21/679879/
In short: awesome.
Speaking of the illustrious Mr. Bragg, he’s just penned an excellent editorial piece in today’s New York Times:

Which song did JC cover? I’m going to take a wild guess that it was “New England,” since that’s where Jonathan hails from, and it’s just an awesome song.
Reb,
Could’a been, I’m a big teddy bear.
Jen: He did The Saturday Boy. With a Dylanesque harmonica solo. “There are some songs you wish you’ve wrote. This is one of them. Actually, I think I wrote this song. After Billy Bragg did it.” Hmm, a song about a geeky boy’s unrequited love, that does sound familiar
And also, since no one else seems to have mentioned it: He introduced a song as “This one is a Christmas song,” to great cheering from the crowd expecting CBP, and then went into a cover of Do They Know It’s Christmas…
Awesome gig, JoCo – thanks a million times over for coming all this way, and for the fantastic new version of Code Monkey.
Awesome gig. More! More!
A belated thank you for a terrific show! It was totally surreal and fantastic to have you play for us. I was devastated to have to leave during your encore so that I’d catch the last train home, but rest assured next time you come to play I’ll organise accommodation in London. Thanks again – you made my year!
