So, I walk down there for a minute and turn left again and, after a minute, pass by the same weird statue. So I am traveling South when after about 15 minutes of walking, I hit the street that Eric works on (which is definitely North). I head South and pass this weird bronze, blocky statue of a person this is next to a map that I check to make sure I am going the right way. As I was walking around the enormous building, I tried to keep track of the direction I was going because I wanted to head down to the Thames (South) after I was done seeing the cathedral. This is a lesser known fact, but somewhere around St.

Christopher Wren rebuilt it beginning in 1675, and finally completed it in 1703 making it the great St. The cathedral was originally built back in the 7th century, but was burned down and pillaged a few times until 1666 when a huge fire went through London. I had absolutely no idea how huge it was! I was just walking along, following my directions and BAM - there is is.Ī view of the back of the Cathedral from the East.Ī really awesome side door.
#THE WEIRD SISTERS BAGPIPE PLAYER FULL#
The movie’s soundtrack and the DVD’s special features include two additional Weird Sisters songs, “This is the Night” and “Magic Works” composed by Cocker, performed by the full onscreen band which also included Johnny Greenwood and Phil Selway from Radiohead playing rocking wizards.On this lovely rainy Thursday, I took a walk to St. How much pop did they produce? Three songs. If the actors seem like they enjoy the game they’re playing, the audience can feel it, and the band gels into something that feels realistic. Clearly, Jarvis and the rest of the band are having the times of their lives on that stage made of magic.Īt this point in this week, I think I’ve realized that the magic formula for success as a fake band who appears briefly in a movie, rather than carrying the thing, is all about the fun factor. Jarvis sings with a serious rasp, but the lyrics he wrote are not just creative they’re, and I mean this in the best way, silly. Johnny Greenwood from Radiohead (on lead guitar) is such a babe in goth black lipstick. The Weird Sister tracks and grungy and fuzzy, and their look is very glam rock. Though swooned over by wizarding teens and playing songs with lyrics that speak to high school kids, the Weird Sisters’ sound has none of the bubblegum sugar offered by bands like Microbe and 2ge+her. Jarvis collaborated with Jason Buckle from All Seeing I ( Ha! There’s your pun, Jimmy!) to compose the Weird Sister’s most popular track “Do The Hippogriff.”

rock royal, Jarvis Cocker from the band Pulp to play lead singer Myron Wagtail. To bring the wizarding world’s favorite rock band to life, director Mike Newell called upon a British alt. Rowling never had to deal with this kind of headache! But I know, I know, we mustn’t dwell… In the fourth Harry Potter film, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, the Weird Sisters are introduced as the band that needs no introduction because Warner Brothers was dealing with a legal dispute with a Canadian folk band called the Wyrd Sisters, even though it’s obvious as hell that from a book about witches and wizards, the name is Shakespeare reference. Alright Hogwarts! Are you ready for some real music?
