I’m not being funny but… Christmas is well and truly upon us. This weekend I did a secret gig playing for the Christmas opening of Coal Drops Yard in Kings Cross. It was such a refreshing experience. I noticed there were families and office workers mingling, enjoying the giant tree, lights and Club Curling. I was curious to see the pricing structure and was thrilled to find out kids went free. It wasn’t forced fun. Bear with me, I’m getting at something…
With the opening of Winter Wonderland, right, tomorrow, I have to ask — is it now for tourists more than Londoners? I used to go to Winter Wonderland religiously, every single year for my birthday. The past couple of years I feel like it’s lost its magic and here’s why. I understand I’m a person in an over privileged position here, but I’ve found myself spending hundreds of pounds in one outing. I’ll always be a working class boy at heart, despite living in Dior, and THREE HUNDRED F***ING QUID to go on some dodgems and eat a dry old hot dog is just excessive by anyone’s standard.
