I'm a newbie in Zurich as are some of my friends coming along so might be a good opportunity to meet some new, hopefully like-minded folk!

I haven't heard anything from the OP and other attendees, but you are more than welcome to meet up with us before/during...we are 3 EFers, possibly 4, so the more the merrier. No solid plans yet, but will PM you contact details so we can arrange today/tomorrow, if you want.

Re: Florence & The Machine

This was one of the best gigs I've been to in Zürich. I had been rather sceptical before the show, but the performance just blew me a way. Dramatic in the best way.

Pretty special performance I thought, at a great, and very orderly (?!) venue!! I hope that was the first of many great gigs to see in Zurich.

One thing though, and I wonder whether any one else can pitch in too here...but I thought the crowd was a tad on the quiet side - is this normal in der Schwiez?

Sorry to those I didn't manage to meet up with; I guess my post 1.5hrs before the proposed meet up wasn't one of my best pieces of planning... Anyway, hope to meet up at the next one...

Dan

Normally much quieter and more orderly than a UK gig audience, at least from my experience so far in Zürich. The Florence and the Machine crowd was actually more lively than many I've been to!

Re: Florence & The Machine

In case anyone missed my other thread I took a few pictures of Florence

I had been putting off buying the album for a while but when I got concert tickets I took the plunge. It is much better than I was expecting - I think I don't like the videos for the singles. And on Saturday they were fantastic. Much more rocky than I was expecting especially when I saw the harp on stage. They were obviously enjoying the last night of the tour.


Oh and we were in Odeon but didn't know that people were meeting there so wasn't looking for people.

Re: Florence & The Machine

Hello all,
Apologies fopr opening the thread then doing nothing to organise a meet-up beforehand! Getting hold of a ticket and heading over to Zurich was all a bit last-minute.

Thanks again to Gastro Gnome & Depeche for a top night!
