My Amazing Night At The Royal Albert Hall, The Sound Of 007

Okay so, a few months ago, me and my family went to The Royal Albert Hall to see the sound of 007. I’ve been wanting to share my experience for quite a while now. I’m really sorry if I haven’t been blogging lately, A little while ago, I caught a vomiting bug and I could hardly move let alone do any work, but I’m better now so that’s all what matters.

We went to the Royal Albert Hall to see the Philharmonic orchestra perform all the James Bond songs from all the James Bond films. As you all know, I’m a huge James Bond fan, me and my family are huge James Bond fans. I love all the old films featuring Sean Connery and Roger Moore. As well as the story and the acting, the music also plays a huge part in the films and it’s what makes them so memorable. This was just so absolutely amazing.

They did all my favourite James Bond songs but they left out a few which is what I was a bit disappointed with but it’s okay, at least they got around to doing most of them. Everyone in the philharmonic orchestra was just absolutely incredible, I loved the singers, I just think they all did such a fantastic job. I had so much fun too, I was just there, so off beat whilst clapping along to Live And Let Die, I’m so shit at beats. I was just not clapping along on time, my dad and my sister were sitting there, looking at me like ” what are you bloody doing?”. I was having fun, when I’m having fun, I don’t care about doing the right beats, haha, but yeah no, it was so much fun.

There were also some really weird things going on during the event. About a few rows down from us, there was this geezer holding bloody two pairs of trousers. He just pulled out these pairs of trousers out of nowhere, he had like a pair of white and a pair of black trousers, so random. I was just sitting there, thinking ” This geezer, man, why has he got two pairs of trousers with him” I was just trying so hard not to laugh. I swear to god, weird things happen every time we go to a gig or a music event. The same thing happened when my dad and my sister went to go and see Roxy Music at The Royal Albert Hall. They were sitting near the back, enjoying the music and then suddenly, they could feel cold air/ wind behind them, they turn around and there was this woman just getting up and dancing really fast. She was just enjoying herself, the poor woman. I guess that’s what I love about gigs though, it’s a safe space for us music lovers and nerds, it’s a place where we can express ourselves and have fun without feeling embarrassed . But yeah no, they could just feel air circulating at twenty miles per hour and then you just see this woman dancing next to you, haha. That wasn’t the only thing that happened, about a few minutes later, there was this person looking at pictures of bloody rabbits on their phone, like who does that?. You’re at a gig, fat chance you probably won’t see Bryan Ferry perform ever again, enjoy the moment, put your phone down, you can look at pictures of rabbits when you get back home, why does it have to be at a bloody Roxy Music gig? . After all that, they thought that was it, they were like ” Oh good, it’s over” and then, there was this geezer raising a glass in the air, looking at his bloody drink, smh. They really enjoyed the Roxy Music gig, it’s a shame I didn’t get to go, I was at home, reminicising about what a great night they were having, anyway, there’s always next time.

I really enjoyed this James Bond event. The sound was amazing, the songs were really well performed, everything was just fantastic, I’m so glad we got to experience this ourselves. As a James Bond fan myself, I fell in love with the music, I know all the songs off by heart, I’ve got so many favourites. My favourite bond has to be Roger Moore, because he’s an absolute legend. I love some of his other work like when he was in TV shows like The Persuaders, The Saint and then some films such as Escape To Athena, North Sea Hijack, The Man Who Haunted Himself, Shout At The Devil, he was in so much great stuff. He brought something new to the table, I love his James Bond because he was really charming and funny, I love all his James bond films, so he has to be my favourite James Bond of all time but I still love the others too, they’re all great in their own ways, I sometimes find myself just watching one of Roger Moore’s bond films with my dad from time to time, they’re just so amazing. Moonraker is my absolute favourite, but so is For Your Eyes Only, A View To A Kill, Man With A Golden Gun, Octopussy, Live And Let Die, The Spy Who Loved me, I’ve got so many favourites.

This event was a great tribute to the late John Barry and Ian Flemming, both geniuses who made James Bond films for what they are today, they really had no idea that a few years later, these films would have such an special place in everyone’s hearts. The Royal Albert Hall is such a great place to go if you want to see live music, especially orchestras. The next time I go to The Royal Albert Hall, it’s going to be for the Sparks gig so that’s really exciting, me and my sister are going to wear Sparks T shirts.

Thank you so much for reading this post, I hope you liked it. This was a short post because I didn’t want to say too much. So yeah, that’s really all I wanted to say about this event, I had so much fun. It made me appreciate the James Bond franchise even more. I hope you all have a lovely evening, I’m going to go and watch a few episodes of The Sweeney and The Professionals with my dad then I’m going to watch Inside no 9, Life On Mars,Mind Your Language, Green Wing, Tucker’s Luck and Grange Hill because they’re my favourite shows at the moment, let me know if you like them too. Love you guys
