In a rare moment of self-awareness Lily has realised that perhaps her shows aren't going to be the most popular ticket in town. Maybe if she put a raffle on in the interval? She told Absolute Radio...

"I'm quite terrified that nobody is going to buy tickets so can everyone please go and buy some? I bought six of my own!"

She bought six? That's enough for all her friends easily. And their parents. She also made a funny joke about a recent warm-up gig she gave.

"Yeah that was good, I think my record company probably bought half of them!"

Ha ha! Half of them. Don't be so modest, Lily! They just made sure that the guest list ran to several hundred people, such as 'Man dragged in off the street + ten'.
