Scene and Heard

Ahead of her highly anticipated series of concerts at the Hammersmith Apollo in London, Bush has appealed to her fans to put away their mobile phones at the performances.
A statement on her website read: “We have purposefully chosen an intimate theatre setting rather than a large venue or stadium. It would mean a great deal to me if you would please refrain from taking photos or filming during the shows. I very much want to have contact with you as an audience, not with iPhones, iPads or cameras. I know it’s a lot to ask but it would allow us to all share in the experience together.” I think she is fighting a losing battle but here’s hoping her noble effort has some effect.
