Irresistible... The Irrepressibles

My beloved deuxieme moitie took me last Saturday for a concert.
Till I arrived in the theatre, I did not even know what it was about...

The concert was at the Barbican Centre, near Barbican station. When you go there for the first time, you can't help thinking that it is really a creepy place, as you have to take a long, creepy tunnel to go to the Centre... But once you get into it, it is really exciting, full of people, activity, music...

The first part of the concert was played by Gabby Young and Other Animals. It was brilliant

I especially loved the way the Singer was dressed and her makeup - fantastic.

I love orchestra and especially wind instruments so I really enjoyed it

Then, The Irrepressibles...

The whole place was dark... at the first notes, I could not help putting myself in sleeping mode, quite disappointed vs the first part with Gabby Young.

But after the first ten minutes, I was transported in another dimension. The whole concert was a total journey. More than a concert it was a show. The play of light was brilliant: first, total darkness with only spotlight on Jamie McDermott, then little by little light on the Musicians. The more the concert went the more enlighten the theatre. At the end, it was an explosion of light!
I was totally impressed by the Musicians. They are not apart as in many bands. They participate to the theatre. They are not only Musicians but also dancers, actors. They never ease off, even during the transitions.
I also loooooved their outfits and their makeup: romantic and baroque. Like an Illamasqua postcard !!!

Here is a video of the Finale





If you have the opportunity to go to see them, I would absolutely recommend them!!!

Sunday Salad #1

To begin with, I am not a very good cooker... I only know chopping and mixing all the stuff I have chopped together. So salads are one of the only dishes I can handle for the moment ^-^

Here is the recipe of one of my favourite salad of the moment: Easy, quick, fresh & yummy salad !

Ingredients: - 1 pack or 2 of young skinny asparagus - 1 pack of mushrooms - champignons de Paris type - 1 pack of little tomatoes - cherry tomatoes type - 1 pack of ready to use spinach for salad - 1 shallot - 1 pack of Turkey ham + Dressing

Take one big salad bowl then:

1. Begin by preparing the dressing in the salad bowl: chop the shallot in thin slices. Add two tablespoons (TS) of olive oil, two or three TS of balsamic vinegar and two TS of apple vinegar. Add pepper and salt. Done for the vinegar!

2. Boil some water and add the asparagus for two minutes. When it is done, leave them till they are cold.
Cut the tomatoes in half. Clean the mushrooms and chop them in thin slices.
Put everything in the salad bowl.

3. Add turkey hams that you have also cut in gross slices.

4. Add spinach.

Mix everything together and DONE :)

It is even better when you add poached eggs!
