Went to see Coldplay in Arnhem last night with Richard Ashcroft supporting. I didn't

really feel like it given the day's events and the fact that I still have 3 close friends in London I haven't managed to contact and countless acquaintances, and I fully expected them to cancel.

But all credit to them - I guess they, like me, decided that whoever did this will not win and went ahead with the show.

Huge, huge reaction from the Dutch crowd when Chris whotsit said "It's been a very strange day for those from my country. I hope your thoughts will be with those in London.".

They then played Yellow as a dedication.

By the way, Coldplay were fantastic. Ashcroft was a good act but my God the chap can't sing!
