Richard Niles did the Swing Medley that was on DJ Culture.

It was Richard Coles they got to do "What Keeps Mankind Alive"

It was definitely Anne Dudley, on the grand piano. Chris wasn't even on stage.

Many thanks for that. Its a shame really. I half wondered if this is why they decided not to release a dvd of the performance.

real shame

Don't know if this was posted before, but I just stumbled upon it while browsing CD WOW: They offer Concrete as a bargain for £ 6,99 (UKP), free worldwide delivery.

I have bad experiences with CD-Wow as they ship from Asia, which sent all alarm bells ringing at customs. I had to pay several euros import tax on a stupid dvd. They are also under investigation for alleged parallel import in the EU.

I ordered at CD-Wow before without any problems. Dvd's are indeed subject of an import tax, but CD-Wow cannot be blamed for that. What counts for me is that they are cheap and reliable.

Well, yes and no: I would have liked a friendly reminder of these charges. I order all my stuff from Play.com now, usually just as cheap, but no hassle with taxes and also very reliable.

CD-WOW also has a full page with information, including delivery information:

Chris is really good at playing keyboards (live or mimed :P ).
Interviewer:
-What would you tell someone about yourself if you wanted to impress them?

Chris:
-I´ve got a 12-inch plonker.
