Christmas shoppers in Bath (UK) got a shock last week when 3 Quiksilver store mannequins launched into two 30 minute sets under the name of Ellie Lawson and her merry band!! Oh what fun we had watching the little kids point and dance along! It was a very surreal experience playing music behind a sheet of glass and thinking that you could hear the applause as hands were moving, but actually not being able to hear a thing! Luckily we had monitors so we could hear our music and the big speakers were outside the shop!

The actor Nicolas Cage turned on the Christmas lights at the top of the hill and we were at the bottom of the hill so we managed to catch people on their way up and back down. Maybe they will ask us to turn the lights on one day- I will keep dreaming but until then we are back again in Bath this coming Saturday for the official Bath Quiksilver store opening! Yeay! Cant wait to get back in my glass box and make some more kids run in circles! So many people were filming us with their phones, but what do they do with it afterwards? Hopefully it will turn up on my youtube page at some point in the future! 

Thanks Carmen for having us at the shop, thank you Meena for arranging for us to play-twice, everyone that helped us choose clothes and sell CDs at the shop, my band Dave Harewood and Hils Granger, the sound guy Steve that lives on a boat in Bath and the artist Si Connerly for the pic’s and for the video footage that I will put up next week after Saturdays ‘Shop Window Show’ y’all! Love Ellie xxx
