Florence + The Machine Proms Performance
Posted: Sun Oct 27, 2024 2:24 pm
As part of the BBC Proms, Florence + The Machine gave a performance at the Royal Albert Hall centered around an orchestral interpretation of their (now 15-year old) debut album (Lungs).
Lead singer Florence sported a Rodarte dress and her backing singers were dressed by Allen & Adcock. Regarding the latter, I don't know if you would describe the backing singers outfits as dresses over leggings or wrap skirt / dress or something else? The main point is that the garments appear to be identical for both sexes.
Take a look at the video from 4.00 mins in and let me know how you would describe them.
Lungs was an album that I played to death upon its release. I've been to see the band a couple of times (once in what was effectively a large warehouse in Coventry and once at a semi-outdoor, amphitheatre location in MA). I think this was one of those performances that would have been much more enjoyable if you had been there in person (a friend of mine who is a semi-pro singer and appears at the Proms every year trashed Florence's singing as being flat and whining).
As an aside, the Royal Albert Hall features a pretty impressive organ (I'm sure that Uncle Al is familiar with it). For this concert, it was played by the fabulous Anna Lapwood
