This was our third visit to the Royal Albert Hall and the seating is unpredictable. This time we were in the second row of a box directly in front of the stage but Jane had a six foot tall fat bastard sitting in front of her and she refused to swap with me. She did manage to move her seat sufficiently to get a reasonable view.

Jane discovered Regina Spektor some years ago and her quirky style has kept us both entranced ever since. She cannot get away from her Russian jewish roots but that enhances her music and lyrics.

Her concert just proved she is a really lovely person and would be the kind of person you would like to call a friend. Her set list included all of our favourites and her finish with Samson was a great conclusion. It was a superb concert and we were really pleased that we'd made the effort. I think we would go and see her again if the opportunity arose.

The walk back from the Albert Hall to Knightsbridge station in the rain wasn't unpleasant as we could revel in the event.
