Nora Jones Rocks my birthday

As I enjoy my few days break here in beautiful Belfast, I get a chance to see a long time favourite of mine, the hip and happening Ms Nora Jones. Originally hailing from the great state of Texas, Jones put out a set which, as one could predict, some old; some new and the obligatory encore. The set design was wonderfully crafted and the music equally so. I was amazed at the quality of the soundstage that it could have easily been mistaken for playback.
The waterfront is a setting that inspires creativity and uniqueness. This set was both. Jones was performing material that verged on alternative Rock, with a splash of Pop thrown in. Even thought we were requested to refrain from taking photographs et al, there were a fair few who could not resist the temptation being that some were tantalizingly close enough to capture the freckles on here face.
My spot only allowed me to look from on hight like a god looking on one of its masterpiece creations.
As far as birthday weekends go, this one was up there. Jean Michelle Jarre was another one thats stands out for me.
