Le Mans Series...I met Giancarlo Fisichella :D

Today my dad and I went to Silverstone to see the final round of the Le Mans Series. We got to the circuit at around 8:30am and after parking up we set off to have a look around the track. I noticed a stall that was selling Giancarlo Fisichella caps so obviously I rushed over. The cap was from years ago but at £6, how could I resist? I also noticed they were selling the Fisichella teddy bears for £3 or 2 for £5. I bought one, because I already had one and I wanted to keep one in a box.

We then headed into the paddock area because there was an autograph session that we taking place at 10am. I located Giancarlo's lorry and stood outside it.



Because we were there so early I expected to be waiting around for ages to meet Giancarlo, but he suddenly appeared. He was lovely and here are my photos...






^ Giancarlo signing my flag :D Yay!

And finally...

Yaaaay! Twelve years of waiting and I finally met him. I'm so happy!


Someone had obviously been editing Ben Collins' information. LOL.

Field Music = Love

Peter & David Brewis (Andy not pictured. Sniff.)

You have no idea how happy I was made when one of my fellow Field Music fan friends posted a link to an article featuring the news that Field Music will be returning for a 3rd/4th (depending on if you class Write Your Own History as an album proper) album. Field Music are simply the best band in the world in my opinion. I've adored them for years now and have enjoyed many a good gig in the presence of three amazing gentlemen named Field Music.

When I first heard their music I was amazed at how unique it was and I soon fell in love with the noise that was unmistakeably Field Music.
The first gig I went to was at Leeds Cockpit. I only got to see Field Music as Field Music four times, but several other times as other incarnations, The Week That Was and School of Language (I was particularly impressed when David as School of Language supported himself in Field Music... If that makes any sense!?

It's been far too long since I've seen this band, the last time being at The Harley in Sheffield as The Week That Was. I still find it amazing that David recognises me. Such an amazing down to earth bloke.
Moi and Mr David Brewis many moons ago


And there is a slice of Field Music goodness for anyone who many not have heard them..
