I HAVE TO APOLOGISE THAT I ONLY HAVE MY TABLET TO POST THIS REPORT, ALTHOUGH I HAVE SOME PICS , THEY WILL HAVE TO GO UP AFTER WE GET HOME, IT WON'T LET ME COPY THE LINKS.
OUR JOURNEY TO SUFFOLK FROM OUR HOLIDAY HOME WAS QUICK IN SPITE OF THE RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. THE AQUARIUM WAS A LOVELY MODERN BUILDING OVERLOOKING A LOVELY SANDY BEACH, TO WHICH WE WILL RETURN AT A LATER DATE, IT WAS SO NICE.
WE HAD VIP TICKETS, SO AFTER JOINING THE LONG QUEUE OUTSIDE FOROSSIBLY ONLY FIVE MINUTES, WE WERE SHOWN INTO A PRIVATE ROOM, WHICH WAS BIG WOTH A BAR AND TABLES AND CHAIRS AND A DANCE FLOOR WOTH SPOTLIGHTS IN THE MIDDLE.
I DIDN'T SEE ANY FANS THAT I KNOW, BUT EVERYONE WAS REALLY FRIENDLY, SO WE HAD A CHAT AND A LAUGH. ALL THE ACTS WERE LATE ARRIVING, SO WE STAYED IN THERE FOR AN HOUR. BY THIS TIME WE WERE ALL GETTING FIDGETY, AND A QUEUE TO GET INT THE OTHER ROOM STARTED TO FORM. WE WERE DRINKING ORANGE JUICE AS THE WINE WAS TOO DRY, BUT OTHERS SEEMED TO LIKE IT AND HAVE REFILLS, AND THE WHOLE ATMOSPHERE WAS GETTING LIKE A PARTY.
THEN IT WAS TIME TO GO IN. THER WERE A FEW TABLES AND CHAIRS, WHICH KEITH GOT, BUT SO FAR FROM THE STAGE I KNEW I WOULD NEED TO GO UP WHEN GARETH WAS ON. IT WAS SUCH A PARTY ATMOSPHERE IT WAS NO WOMDER THEY STARTEDD OFF WOTH A LOCAL ROCK BROUP, WITH A BLONDE GIRL SINGING HER HEART OFF. WE GOT TO CHAT TO HER AFTER AND SHE SAID HOW HONOURED THEY WERE TO BE ASKED TO SUPPORT GARETH AND THE OVERTONES.
GARETH WAS ON SECOND, FANS WERE SCREAMING FOR HIM, AND I JUST MANAGED TO SQUEEZE IN AT THE END OF THE STAGE BEHIND A COUPLE OF VERY EXUBERANT GIRLS . EVERYONE WAS BUSY WITH CAMERAS AND VIDEOS, GARETH LOOKED AMAZING IN GREY TROUSERS AND A WAISTCOAT TO MATCH, I LOVE WAISTCOATS, SO STYLISH. HE HAD HIS BAND BUT NOT PETE, AND BOY DID THEY ROCK!! I DIDN' THINK HE COULD BETTER GRAVESEND, BUT HE DID, AND THE CROWD WENT MAD, THEY LOVED HIM.
I DIDN,T THINK I HAD A HOPE OF MAKING CONTACT WITH HIM, BUT I HELD UP MY ARM ANYWAY, AND WOULD YOU BELIEVE IT, HE CAME RIGHT DOWN THE END OF THE STAGE AND GRIPPED IT, I FELT SO PROUD WHEN THE TWO GIRLS SAID. YOU ARE LUCKY. BUT NO JEALOUSY, THEY WRE SO NICE THEY JUST LAUGHED, AND I FELT REALLY AT HOME IN SUCH A HAPPY ATMOSPHERE.
GARETH DID A ROCK SET, AND GIRLS WERE DANCING AROUND US, SOME QUITE MERRY, AND I WONDERED IF HE WOULD BE ABLE TO SLIP IN SOME SLOW SONGS AS THEY WRE ALL SO LIVELY, BUT I NEEDN'T HAVE WORRIED, EVERYONE SANG UM WITH HIM, AND ALL OF ME, WHICH HE SANG A BIT MORE UP TEMPO THAN HE HAD AT GRAVESEND, BUT IT WAS STILL VERY BEAUTIFUL.
WE HAD VUEST APPEARANCES FROM DANE BOWERS, JEFF BRAZIER AND TYLER MOON FROM EASTENDERS, WHO ALL MINGLED AT THEARTY AFTER.
ALTHOUGH THE OVERTONES CAME ON LAST, WHICH I FEEL WAS THEIR MISTAKE, WELL I AM A GARET FAN! I WAS NOT OVERLY IMPRESSED WITH THEIR SET, ALTHOUGH I HAD LIKED THEM IN THE PAST. THE STAGE THINNED OUT A BIT AFTER GARETH, HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE STAR.
AFTERWARDS WE WERE SHOWN BACK INTO THE ROOM WHERE THE PARTY WAS TO BE HELD, AND TOLD WE WOULD ALL GET A FREE PROFESSIONAL PHOTO WITH GARETH AND THE OVERTONES. THEY ALL POSED IN A LONG LINE, AND WHEN IT WAS MY TURN I WAS SCARED STIIF, I DON'T KNOW THE OVERTONES. BUT GARETH WAS LOVELY, HE SEEMED TO SENSE IT,,SO I RAN IN BESIDE HIM, AND ALSO LINKED ARMS WITH ONE OF THE OTHERS WHO GAVE ME A LOVELY COLGATE SMILE. KEITH ALSO TOOK PHOTOS BLESS HIM, HE IS SO LYAL TO ME, BUT I WASN'T LOOKING AT THE CAMERA PROPERLY .
GARETH SPOKE QUICKLY TO ME, HE HAD SEEN KEITH OUTSIDE EARLIER AND CHATTED THEN, I THINK HE LIKES IT WHEN HE RECOGNISES ONE OF HIS DIEHARDS. HE CERTAINLY MAKES YOU FEEL SPECIAL. THERE WRE STILL LOTS OF FANS WAITING, AND IT WAS ALMOST MIDNIGHT. WE KNEW WE HAD TO LEAVE, IT WOULD BE AT LEAST AN HPUR BEFORE THE PHOTOS WERE DONE, AND WHETHER GARETH AND TH OS WOULD MINGLE WITH THE GUESTS AFTER I HAVE NO IDEA, BUT I WAS CONTEMT, I GOT TO SEE AND HAVE A QUICK CHAT WITH HIM, AND ALSO A PICTUE, SO I THINK I DID REALLY WELL.
I HOPE HE GOES BACK THER AGAIN, A GREAT VENUE AND LOVELY PEOPLE. I ALREADY KNEW SUFFOLK PEOPLE ARE GREAT BECAUSE I HAVE HAD HUGE SUPPORT WITH MY BOOK SIGNINGS AND MADE LOTS OF NEW FRIENDS.
FORGIVE ANY ERROS, MY TABLET SUGGESTS WORDS!
