There are six types of quarks, known as flavors: up, down, charm, strange, top, and bottom.[4] Up and down quarks have the lowest masses of all quarks. The heavier quarks rapidly change into up and down quarks through a process of particle decay: the transformation from a higher mass state to a lower mass state. For this reason, up and down quarks are generally stable and the most common in the universe, whereas charm, strange, top, and bottom quarks can only be produced in high energy collisions (such as those involving cosmic rays and in particle accelerators).

fookin hell, I must have been too stalkerish and scared her away from doing a Belfast gig again. I'll drive to Derry and see her though
Actually scrap that, as it's standing I'll give her a chance to meet me here and if not I'll buy tickets later. Last edited by Moves-My-World; 09-28-2009 at 05:00 PM. |

Thanks for saving me petrol Lisa
It's the first time I've ever had to pick, having both ticket pre-sale info in my inbox from Damo and Lisa. Of course I picked the one with Belfast in the title, but it would be interesting if Damo's had said the same.... Having problems buying tickets with my card; Maestro is not being accepted apparently. Just kept clicking 'Confirm Order' so I've probably bought around 25 tickets for her... o well, she's worth it!

Finally got my ticket yesterday, as well as reserving one of her majestic "Lisa Hannigan - Mandela Hall - 18th December" dice posters (the gig is in my students' union). Cannot wait.

Watched her in Belfast last night
Ehhh well I got there at about seven, an hour before it opened, and you couldn't have guessed a concert was about to take place. Was first in the queue so was able to position myself directly under Lisa's microphone at the barrier. The opening act, Tom out of "Our Little Secrets", was excellent. He had a very good stage presence dispite being abandoned on stage by the rest of his band and did a very good job of promotion. The crowd had yet to fill but those who were there also appeared to appreciate him. Then Lisa The set list which I nabbed at the end was as follows: Pistachio Sea song Blurry Ocean & a Rock Passenger Playground Love Courting Blues Venn Diagram I Don't Know A Sail (previously Brolly Beats) Teeth Lille __ Blow the Wind Southerly Keep it All Personal Jebus __ Emmm, talking points: She was joined by a violinist, and although she was introduced about 3 times I didn't pick up her name. Gavin said that "she won a competition to play with the band - she was the tenth lucky caller." I wanted to get one video and then just enjoy the concert - I was in the absolute premium position for it. So I decided to record the third song, it turned out to be Blurry. I remember reading on the site that Lisa's management didn't want any videos of new songs (I know Blurry is quite old, but it could still apply to this) so I set up the camera on the barrier, let her begin and though "oh sh*t". Then to make the feelings worse, she glanced at my camera twice during the song, aka put it away boyyyyyy. Anyway, long story short, I recorded the whole song and then the video didn't save so I just put my phone in my pocket, thought that's karma and enjoyed the rest of the gig. Thankfully marymac from the site got EXCELLENT recordings. (http://www.youtube.com/user/marymac82) Passenger was absolutely delightful. Lisa took centre-stage under a blue spotlight while the rest of the band sat at the edge of the stage. The usually busy Mandela Hall (when it's +18 and there's a bar) hushed into an absolute silence for this song. Amazing. The crowd seemed to enjoy I Don't Know, Lille and Personal Jebus/Jesus the best. There wasn't a great amount of singing along from what I could hear but for these there was. Lisa was very suprised that after about one line of Personal Jesus the whole of the crowd was singing with her. Teeth and Venn Diagram were my favourites, they were definately shivers down the spine moments. Probably the highlight of the night was Keep it all. Before the song Lisa said she was intigued by a guy that had been whistling alot during the gig. Gavin then asked her to point him out and he'd "sort him out after." Lisa then revealed that she was unable to whistle and could only manage a "pathetic whistling noise", hilarious. She then dedicated the song to the guy and even improvised at a point, which is very worth watching on youtube All in all, the best time I have seen her live. The band were in very high spirits and it transcended through the music. When we got to the end of Lille and the band moved towards the centre of the stage I wondered what was up. Then they joiuned and bowed and I thought "No way, that can't be time for the encore already." Time just flew and I could have stood idolising right up until Christmas. I honestly was like a kid in a sweet shop, I couldn't take my eyes off her. So Lisa, if you ever read this, I'm sorry for staring |

I'm fairly certain the violinist is Lucy Wilkins, although I have an equally poor memory for introductions. I think the lads were taking the proverbial with the competition thing. Herself and Gavin were hysterical with the duelling banjos thing they had going on for 'Keep It All', anyway.
Gavin calling Lisa 'Boss' was great too. As it should be. Ridiculous amount of love on that stage, and I've never ever heard the Mandela that quiet. She has some sort of fascination field, seriously. I think I used up all my review powers raving about Swell Season on Tuesday, I have nothing coherent to add. (I didn't know they didn't want us recording. Oh dear. Will wait and see if I get shouted at.) [Photos: http://www.flickr.com/photos/mary_ma...7623029158416/ ]
