* A Special Night *

I was present at an amazing concert/gig last night - Sufjan Stevens at the Royal Festival Hall - and wanted to share just some of the wonder, fun, surreal, crazy and beautiful things we heard and saw!

There was a 10 piece ensemble joining him, all dressed in day-glo with entrancing visuals - a real sensory overload at times, with some angel wings thrown in for good measure. Photo: WWW.TOM-SPRAY.

Most of the night were tracks from his new album, The Age of Adz - which is very different from his previous album, Illinios, so I had no idea what it was going to be like!

I'm not a music reviewer so I won't go into all the ins and outs of giving a review - it was just amazing to hear and see a very creative artist's imagination and be taken with him on a cosmic journey...

Click on the party video to go to bandcamp to hear his latest album.
