On Tuesday night, Ruben, Galo and I went to San Sebastian for the Matthew Herbert Big Band concert. (Photo: Ruben and Galo, with the San Sebastian skyline behind them.)I know I said my hot water bottle was the best 10 euros I ever spent, well this was the best 20 euros I ever spent.
It was the kind of music that squeezes the air out of your lungs and makes you feel like you're dissolving.
I noticed that they're heading to Sydney and playing at the Opera House on the 24th January next year, so I'm going to make sure my family and music-appreciative friends who are there GO. (Or I might buy them tickets as Christmas presents if they're nice to me.) No matter how pricey the Opera House is, it's completely worth it.
Afterwards we went for a walk by the sea in the rain and ate bocatas and drank a bottle of cider at a bar. San Sebastian is supposed to be ridiculously over-expensive for food (and everything else) but this place was great.Long live cheap food!

Cheapish but good food in San Sebastian: http://11870.com/pro/bar-juantxo bar Juantxo, C/ Emparantza 6 or C/ San Lorenzo. ;) I'm glad you liked the concert but feel a little bit disappointed that Beza or Andrés didn't want to come. Well anyway, this guy comes to Spain really often.
yeah buy me a ticket, but what kind of music? If it's loud i dont think i will appreciate. However i am glad they named band after my son.
