The album is great too. I really like this band, trad with experimental rock tendancies without all the annoyances that usually throws up. The album is great too.

Think I will have to meet up with ya to discuss films at some stage! Had forgotten some of the reasoning behind the story- problem with putting a few notes in the drafts and then taking 2 odd months to get the post out. Although during the film I didnt tie the three troubled men together- vagrant scene definitely makes sense when you put it that way. As to Tim- romantic plank is still one step up from gormless! As well, since I have been a wee bit on the romantic side meself these days, I can't really complain;-) Hey Longman,

We had a really good discussion after it, teasing it all out. A couple of things on the criticism that you make. Re the shop scene early on, I feel that Mike Leigh is trying to dupe us a little at the start with the complete kookiness that she shows then. While that part of her always does remain, I think that the more complex aspects of Poppy's character are only allowed to emerge as the film progresses (especially her huge compassion for others). To take this remark a step further, it is no coincidence that many of the characters are teachers or instructors. I think that there is a significant and rather dark message to be found in the film about the great responsibilities that such people have in terms of influencing the lives of others - especially children. Regarding the vagrant, I do not think that it is a coincidence that the three troubled men in the film are a boy, a youngish enough man still, and someone on the wrong side of middle-aged. The first is quite saveable, the second (Scott) is in the balance, and the third seems beyond reach. It is because Scott is the greatest challenge that the film ultimately focuses on the dynamics between Poppy and him. In all, an amazing film. Cannot wait to get the DVD. (P.S. After a bright beginning, I thought that Tim descended into a romantic plank and that the love scene the only real mis-step in the whole thing. Sorry!)

Tim, my name is Rachael and I work a PR/Online company in Bristol. I'm currently trying to connect with Irish based bloggers to spread the word about an important Irish musical networking site. It should be pretty big and we've got a few big names on board already, but mainly we need feedback from music bloggers.
