Good for you iamsue ! .... but, can I ask ? what is 'GC' contact ? It's probably really obvious, but I can't guess. I'll be watching out on Twitter and retweeting. What's your Twitter name ? Mine is 'Mrs Green'.

iamsue - that's so true what you said to Marco - you've taken the words right out of my mouth ! I'll be so delighted if you're able to help him show his beautiful creations to the boys... I'm sure they'll be delighted and soooo impressed. :eek::eek::eek::eek:

Oh Yes ! I agree ! If you can do something - that's fab ! You will keep us all informed, won't you ?

I love this image of CP . It's taken from the 'Under 1 Roof' gig in Dec. 2013 which was the first time I saw them live and I wanted to try it out using a technique I'd recently been using. Hope you like it.

I was sitting in Costa, window seat, in Mold (Jonny's home town) in North Wales today and started dreaming that he might walk past if he was visiting his parents while there's a gap in touring .................. sigh..................... maybe one day......................

Well, if ever you decide to make more pianos I'd love to buy one and I'm sure you could make a fortune selling them... and the other instruments too, of course. As someone else has already told you The Bakery is Coldplay's recording studio base in London. I get the impression that they pop in there quite often. The address is The Bakery, 2A Fleet Road , London NW3 2QS. Good Luck !!

Your work is fantastic !!! Do you sell them ? Where and how ? You could post an item to The Bakery - I'm sure Chris would receive it eventually. Good Luck !

Sometimes I wonder if it's really just coincidence that almost every time I drive past the turn-off to Jonny's childhood home, a few miles away from me, in North Wales, I'm listening to Hypnotized and Chris shouts " JAY " ! .......... makes me go all funny........

W O W !!!!! Can't wait for your report & pics. Congrats !!!!!

Oh right - thanks. I wasn't aware of the creative pack. So, the ones you got from the screen - did you print them on to fabric ?

Oh, that's great thanks. I knew it was out there somewhere. :eyes:

In PAINT SHOP PRO there is a kaleidoscope maker in the Reflection Effects. Glad you like it....... but it can waste HOURS of your time :scream:

... and I would presume the massive brand that is Coldplay would be very careful who they dealt with, making sure it was ethical and sound.

I can't be the only one who sees Chris's words everywhere......... and

Talking of Kaleidoscope.......I made this one with my LoVe flag.

Yes - agree. This is where I do my listening... and singing along..... as loud as I like without disturbing anyone. I'm LOVING everything on this EP.

Thanks for this - interesting ! Also, it was great to learn that IN MY PLACE was 'born' in Liverpool , MY place - my home. IN MY PLACE Chris: ‘In my Place' is the oldest pivotal song. Just when we were finishing our last record, ‘Parachutes', we were in Liverpool in this little room that had been great on the last record and the record was basically finished so we were all packing up and ready to go. And the album was coming out in about a week. It was a really fine- timing thing, and I was just sat at this organ that my friend lent me, this pump organ, that you have to sit and pedal like that, you know, that was really designed for sea- shanties and drunken sailors but I wasn't either so I was thinking, let's try a sea-shanty, I don't know if I have to do the actions, but these chords just came out and it was at a time when it was just a bit too late on the last record we suddenly discovered things like Jimmy Cliff and all that and even ‘Whiter Shade of Pale'. I'm not saying it's as good as that, I'm saying it's better, no, I'm not, and so that tune we've had pretty much since the end of the last record. But we knew we really liked it and so it's been the lynchpin of this record. Around which everything else has been written.

:joy: Yup - me too !!

Just what I thought ! I LOVE the rest of KEP though.

I wonder if we'll ever get chances like this again ........... the huge arena gigs are amazing, but there's nothing like an intimate, smaller concert. Don't really think they'll ever happen again.

Have a ball in Toronto !!! You'll adore this AHFOD gig - it's sensational ! I suppose, one day, there'll be fans out there, who don't know they're fans yet, who'll envy us this era. :blush:

Yes - we are blessed with so much to see now.... thank goodness !

The best live moment for me has got to be the first time I saw them, at the 2013 Hammersmith Apollo Under1Roof concert. I was lucky enough to get front row balcony seats and just couldn't believe that here they were - in reality - right in front of me - these 4 brilliant guys that I'd fallen in love with. Previously, I'd been heart-broken every time I listened to the live recording of Christmas Lights from Liverpool, my home town, which I'd missed as I didn't really know them then. But in the Apollo, when Chris hit the first cord on the piano, I recognised it and burst into tears.... I was hearing it live at last ! Since then , at each gig, they've gone further and further away from me so nothing will ever compare with that first wonderful concert...... OH ! except in Wembley, when I stood at the C stage to see them walk past my nose ! - that was fantastic BUT I'd sacrificed seeing most of the concert to stand there !

How lucky were you to get to that gig !!!!! WOW !
