IT WAS BRILLIANT THAT MATM WAS ONLY 15 MILES FROM US. MY FRIEND ANNETTE WAS ABLE TO GO TOO , SHE HASN'T SEEN GARETH FOR TWO YEARS AND SHE WAS GOING EARLY TO TRY AND SEE GARETH ARRIVE, AND WE WOULD MEET HER THERE.I REALLY HOPED SHE WOULD BE LUCKY.
WHWN WE ARRIVED ANNETTE STILL HADN'T SEEN GARETH, SHE HAD BEEN THERE AGES.ALSO WAITING WERE TWO LADIES FROM DERBY AND KIRSTY AND HER MUM. NOT THE KIRSTY ON HERE , BUT SHE IS OFTEN ON GARETH'S TWITTER.WE ALL CHATTED ABOUT ALL THE PLACES WE'D SEEN EACH OTHER AT GARETH SHOWS AND WHERE WE WERE GOING NEXT
STILL NO GARETH AT 6PM BUT THE THREE WOMEN SINGERS CAME OUT AND THEY RECOGNISED US FROM LAST YEAR. THEY WERE SO FRIENDLY AND PETER HAD A REAL LAUGH WITH THEM AND GAVE THEM A KISS THAT MADE HIS DAY
WE HAD TO GO AND MOVE THE CAR AT 6.30 AND STILL NO GARETH.
WALKING BACK TO THE THEATRE PETER SAW MICHAEL COURTNEY TALKING TO SOMEONE IN A BIG BLACK RANGEROVER. , AS WE PASTED PETER SAID, IT'S GARETH , HE'S GOT FAYE WITH HIM GARETH SAW US AND CALLED , HI GUYS WE CALLED BACK BUT DIDN'T STOP AS HE WAS OBVIOUSLY LATE, AS ALWAYS! BUT THEN HE DROVE PAST AND WENT AND PARKED NEAR THE STAGE DOOR. ANNETTE WAS SO EXITED AND BY NOW A DOZEN OR MORE PEOPLE WERE WAITING.
I THOUGHT HE WOULD HURRY INSIDE BUT IN TRUE GARETH STYLE HE HAD PHOTOS AND SIGNED WHILE FAYE DISAPPEARED INSIDE. IT WAS 7 PM NOW AND HE WENT IN LEAVEING US ALL SO HAPPY AND WAITING IN THE FREEZING CO;LD ALL WORTH WHILE. ANNETTE WAS OVER THE MOON , SHE HAD A HUG AND PETER TOOK A PHOTO FOR HER WITH GAARETH. 
THE SHOW WAS JUST AMAZING. THE SINGING WAS OUTSTANDING AND GARETH SHOWED NO SIGN OF ANY PROBLEMS WITH HIS VOICE. THE SOUND IN THE CONCERT HALL WAS FANTASTIC AND HEARING GARETH'S BEAUTIFULL VOICE AGAIN JUST LIFTED ME INTO A WORLD OF IT'S OWN. EVERY SONG FROM EACH OF THE CAST WAS POWERFULL AND EXCITING AND CERTAINLY MAKES YOU WANT TO GO AGAIN.THERE WAS A WELL DESERVED STANDING OVATION AT THE END.
ITS ALWAYS OVER TOO SOON , AND WE MADE OUR WAY TO THE STAGW DOOR . AS GARETH DOESN'T ALWAYS COME OUT SO MUCH THESE DAYS WE DIDN'T EXPECT MUCH. THERE WERE AN AWFULL LOT OF PEOPLE WAITING FOR HIM.ALL FULL OF ANTICIPAION. WELL WE WERE NOT DISAPPOINTED. SUDENLY PETER SAID , HE'S HERE AND ALTHO I COULDN'T SEE GARETH AS IT WAS DARK AND HE WAS DOWN SOME STEPS, I COULD HEAR HIM SPEAKING TO PEOPLE AS THEY Y GOT NEARER TO HIM AND HA PHOTOS ECT SIGNED PROGRAMMES.I COULDN'T BELIEVE OUR LUCK THAT HE HAD COME OUT AND AS PETER HELPED ME DOWN THE STEPS TO GARETH I JUST COULDN'T SEE THE BOTTEM STEPS AND GARETH HELPED ME DOWN TOO. I SAID TO GARETH,
"I DIDN'T WANT TO FALL INTO YOUR ARMS,WELL I DID ...BUT...."!!
WELL EVERYONE IN THE QUEUE WENT INTO TUCKS WITH LAUGHING, GARETH TOO! ITS JUST THE WAY IT CAME OUT AS I HAD BEEN AFRAID I'D FALL DOWN THE STEPS.
BUT I HAD MY HUG , PHOTO , SIGNED CUPPANUT BOX , , GARETH WAS SO ;OVELY , I WAS A VERY HAPPY BUDDY AND I WILL POST PHOTOS SOON.
WHAT A BRILLIANT NIGHT IT HAD BEEN FOR ALL OF US , GARETH HAD MADE SO MANY PEOPLE HAPPY AND WITH HIS GREAT PERFORMANCE ON STAGE ,AND SPENDING SO MUCH TIME WITH US AT THE STAGE DOOR.WONDERFULL.

I can just imagine Annette's excitement at meeting Gareth after 2 yrs absence I know how she feels ,Altho I have seen Gareth quite a few times on stage I have not been able to meet him in the flesh for about 4 yrs :(I hope Annette is keeping well it also quite sometime since I saw her.
