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! A belated thank you for a terrific show! It was totally surreal and fantastic to have you play for us.

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...

We were lucky enough to be nearly last in the line and yet get a table right at the front sitting with a bunch of the UK Forum guys, (Yes those ones, including Thomas in his Lab Coat). Me and my wife hadn't heard all the songs,just mostly thing a week ones, and were blown away by some of the excellent songs we hadn't heard. Creepy Doll was especially good as far as I was concerned. A really good performance, and I have to say as a struggling guitarist trying to learn all of the crazy chords you use in your songs I was glad to see even you fluf them on occasion, so thanks for er, fluffing them on purpose to make me feel good :) We had a fantastic night.

I'd only heard two songs before I went to the gig, and I'm just so blown away that everything he does is all *that* *good*! I'm off to buy all the CDs now - not enough cash with me last night! :( See you next time you're over here, and don't waste a second worrying about not understanding the shouting - I've lived here five years and couldn't understand most of it either...

He said he was very uncertain as to whether to sing it. Lots of amusement, and loud booing during the "saved their asses in WWII" bit. ;) Thanks for coming, Jonathan!

(OK, awesome). I brought my friend along who hadn't heard any of your music before and is only a minor league geek (owns laptop!) and he loved it. If you thought the accents in Laaandaan were tough how did you cope ijn Scotland? We eagerly await your return and bring that flashing beeping thing back too, it was quite cool. Hey JoCo

The atmosphere was amazing and you definitely lived up to the hype. :) It's good to know there are so many lovely fellow geeks here in the UK. And I have to say: props to Thomas and his brilliant lab coat. Over There was, of course, the first song. Seriously awesome.

That was a fantastic show - very enthusiastic, weren't we? (You probably could have left the second half up to the audience.) Come back soon. Yrs, the one with the hastily drawn map of Europe and microphone. Thanks JoCo! That was a fantastic show - very enthusiastic, weren’t we?
