Björk’s dressing room in the Empress Ballroom in Blackpool was the Diana Princess Of Wales suite. It is beautiful! And the Ballroom is a very nice hall, as can be seen from the after-gig photo Damian sent me.
We stayed in the Imperial Hotel in Blackpool, eerily reminescent of The Overlook in The Shining. I didn’t think too much of the town, which reminds me of another Stephen King novel, The Talisman. The story begins in a similar holiday resort somewhere in the US, a dreary place.
My only positive experience in Blackpool (besides the concert, which I thoroughly enjoyed) was having great bangers and mash! I have now developed a perverse taste for that strange dish.
Sheffield seems friendly. We arrived here yesterday and the first thing I did was to have a haircut. That brought to my mind the fact that I have now had my hair cut in many different places in the world.
Of all the hair salons I have visited, the one in Tokyo was the most interesting. I was treated like royalty, dressed in a special robe and the barber kept kowtowing - it was great!
