Amanda Palmer Alert!

The ever-arrestable Miss Amanda Palmer will visit these shores over the summer for music and, I hope, hugs. She'll be at the Edinburgh Fringe with Jason Webley and the Evelyn Evelyn twins and then play a few gigs around the place, with two in London. I'm proud to say that I've see Amanda on every musical visit to London since 2005, both with Brian and the Dresden Dolls and her solo gigs, and that tradition will continue. Some things are *important*.

Because she's a bit of a minx, there'll also be some secret gigs to be announced on Twitter nearer the time.

It looks like we'll be treated to some new songs for a new album at the gigs so that's good news. Heaven is a bit of a barn but has a nice high stage so should be good for photo opportunities. I shall, of course, be there to avoid being square.

Punk cabaret is freedom!
