The Coral / Ian Broudie : The Cobden Club, 17/03/08
I head across London to see The Coral at the Cobden Club. I get into the venue; it is a Jamesons Irish Whiskey promotion for St Patrick’s Day. The girl who is organising it takes me up the back stairs to avoid the crowds pushing up the main stairs as soon as the Coral come on. I run into Florence on the stairs, she was performing earlier. Her face is covered in glitter like Natasha from Bat For Lashes. She is friendly, keen to talk, tells me she has finally found a sound. The top room is packed out. It is an acoustic set up which The Coral are particularly adapt at. Their sound is fabulous. They still bring out Ian Broudie to play guitar on a couple of numbers. James seems happier than I have seen him in a long time. They play a couple of new songs “Green Was the Colour of her Eyes” and another, more electric number . They play Bobby Darrin’s “dream Lover” and the Beverley’s “Bye Bye Love” which everyone goes crazy for and which feel quite timeless.

why did you just upload 37 blog posts at once ? The blogosphere would prefer it if you mainatined this blog yourself. If you are unable to do that get someone to do a better job of it than who is doing so at present.
For etiquette on corproate blogging refer to Robert Scoble's Naked Conversations.
Hi Mike,
thanks for responding to my comment.
Perhaps you should blog less content but more often? This would make the task a bit more manageable.
In turn I'd be really interested to hear about some of the issues facing Columbia at the time of this digital tsunami and new models being incorporated into the business. If you make more information transparent in the blogosphere other bloggers can actually help generate ideas and problem solve. What Starbucks is doing with www.mystarbucksidea.com is a good illustration of a multi-national company doing this.
