Following yesterday's post, the question is: what of the Lily Allen live experience?
OMM can only report that we had a high old time. It was sweltering in Bush Hall, the compact venue in Shepherd's Bush, and whether for this reason or because there were a lot of industry and media types in attendance, the atmosphere wasn't quite what it might have been.
But the starlet was on an excellent form - so much more confident than she seemed back in April, when we saw her play her first-ever gig, and she sang really, really well.
Then an equally triumphant party, in an old wrecking yard under the West Way, with lots of well-wishers, and Siouxsie Sioux (with whom we had a lovely chat) and Keira Knightley (with whom we did not), as well as the tabloid pack on the prowl, following their new favourite girl.
If Lily was touchingly disappointed not to make the Mercury shortlist, she was the one having the last laugh last night.
