GRAVESEND REPORT

[ann2526]

AS CAROL HAS DESCRIBED    SO WELL   OUR WONDERFULL EVENING AT THE WOODVILLE I WILL JUST ADD A FEW OF MY EXCITING MOMENTS FROM THE NIGHT.

WHAT BEGAN AS A DREADFULL DISRUPTIVE JOUNEY BY RAUL TO GET THERE  SOON FADED INTO OBLIVION ONCE SAT IN THE THEATRE WAITING FOR GARETH TO COME ON. IT SEEMED A LOMG WAIT AS JAI SEEMED TO BE ON FOR A LONG TIME EVEN THO HE SANG REALLY WELL, FOR ME I WAS JUST THERE FOR GARETH.
 WWHAT  A RECEPTION GARETH HAD WHEN HE APPEARED AT LAST, AND THEN THE NIGHT CAME ALIVE    THE SCREENS AND CHEERS GREW EVEN LOUDER AS THE NIGHT WENT ON. 
IT WASN'T LONG BEFOR WE WERE ALL ON OUR FEET AND UP AGAINST THE STAGE WITH GARETH JUST FEET AWAY. THIS TIME GARETH HAD HIS BAND WITH HIM AS WELL AS PETE AND GARETH JUST THREW HIMSELF INTO EVERY SONG GIVEING A TERRIFIC ROCK PERFORMANCE..  USEING THE WHOLE STAGE  HE  ENCOURAGED  US ALL TO SING ALONG, WHICH WE DID WITH VERY LOUD VOICES :DHE CAME AND HELD EVERYONES OUTSRETCHED HAND, MINE INCLUDED , MORE THAN ONCE AND WE WERE LOVEING IT :DPETE WAS JUST BRILLIANT ON GUITAR AND GARETH WOULD STEP BACK TO GIVE PETE THE STAGE AS PETE GAVE ASOME  AMAZEING SOLO PERFORMABCES ..
 I NEVER THOUGHT 11/2 HOURS COULD GO SO QUICKLY BUT WE DIDN'T LET GARETH OFF THAT EASY AS AT THE END WE ALL CALLED OUT FOR MORE AND GARETH CAME BACK ON STAGE WITH PETE AND SANG MUSTANG SALLY . WHAT A SPECIAL TREAT THAT WAS AND HE WAS WELL APPLAUDED FOR HIS  GENEROSITY.

TRUE TO FORM GARETH DID A MEET AND GREET EVEN THO IT WAS ALREADY 10.30PM. AND HE HAD BEEN SINGING AND ROCKING NONE STOP SINCE HE CAME ON.WHEN IT WAS MY TURN GARETH CAME AND GAVE ME A REALLY LOVELY HUG AND I TOLD HIM WHAT A WONDERFULL NIGHT WECHAD HAD HE REALLY TOCKED TONIGHT I TOLD HIM.  KEITH VERY KINDLY TOOK MT PHOTO WITH H IM ANDGARETH SIGNED MY TICKET. THERE WAS A MASSIVE QUEUE SO I THANKED HIM AND CAME AWAY.
 O THAT PART IS ALWAYS SO SPECIAL EVEN THO ITS BRIEF ITS ALWAYS UNFORGETTABLE.

IT WAS ANOTHER WONDERFULL GARETH NIGHT , AND I WAS SO LUCKY TO BE THERE . PETER IS JUST SO SUPORTIVE AND I CAN NEVER THANK HIM ENOUGHFOR EVERYTHING  , MY FRIENDS ARE ALL  LOVELY AND  LOOK AFTER ME WHEN I NEED A HAND , E.G GETTING INTO THE LADIES

. .WHAT A GREAT BUNCH  OF GARETH FANS I HAVE THANK YOU ALL
