WE SET OFF ON SUNDAY MORNING, AS WE WERE VISTING FAMILY BEFORE THE GIG. ANN RANG ME TO SAY THEY HAD ARRIVED, AND THEN HAYLEY TEXTED ME. WE ALL MET UP OUTSIDE, BUT IT WAS VERY COLD, SO WE TOOK A CHANCE AND WENT INSIDE THE BUILDING.
,I SAW A MAN WHO LOOKED AS IF HE WAS IN CHARGE, SO I GAVE HIM THE CARD AND PRESSIE FROM US FANS, AND HE SAID HE WOULD SEE THAT GARETH GOT IT.
WE SAT AND CHATTED FOR AGES, AND EVENTUALLY WE WERE ALLOWED TO GO UP AND TAKE OUR SEATS. AND WHAT SEATS THEY WERE, ANN HAD WON A COMPETITION, SO WE HAD THE SEATS NEAREST THE STAGE, AS DID HAYLEY AND PAT, WE FELT LIKE ROYALTY, IT WAS LOVELY. THERE WAS A SHORTAGE OF TABLES, BUT THE REST OF THE FANS WERE GIVEN SEATS, AS I WOULDN'T HAVE LIKED TO THINK OF ANYONE HAVING TO STAND UP IF THEY DIDN'T WANT TO.
WHEN GARETH CAME ON I WAS A LITTLE DISAPPOINTED THAT NO-ONE ANNOUNCED HIM, HE WAS JUST THERE. I FELT HE DESERVED TO HAVE A BUILD UP, BUT IT WAS SUCH AN INFORMAL EVENING, AND IT'S AMAZING HOW WELL GARETH CAN ADAPT, WHETHER IT'S MUSICAL THEATRE OR A RIVERSIDE GIG, HE JUST LOOKS SO RIGHT!
HIS FIRST SONG , HIS EYE IS ON THE SPARROW, WAS PERFORMED WITH SUCH FEELING IT BROUGHT TEARS TO MY EYES. HE CHANGED FROM A SOULFUL BALLAD SINGER TO A ROCK GOD SO EFFORTLESSLY , AND ENGAGED THE AUDIENCE, ENCOURAGING US TO CLAP OUR HANDS AND SING, AND GENERALLY HAVE A GOOD TIME.
I HAVE MORE DETAILS IN MY BLOG BELOW.
GARETH STARTED OFF WITH HIS BOTTLE OF WATER BETWEEN SONGS, AND THEN CHANGED TO A BEER. A YOUNG GIRL OFFERED TO BUY HIM A DRINK, AND HE COMMENTED HE WAS DRIVING, BUT THEN CONCEDED TO HAVE JUST HALF A PINT.
I DIDN'T TRY TO CATCH HIS EYE, COS WHEN GARETH SINGS, HE IMMERSES HIMSELF IN THE SONG, HIS EXPRESSIONS SHOW JUST HOW INVOLVED HE IS, SO I WASN'T SURE IF HE HAD RECOGNISED ANY OF US. HOWEVER, WHEN THE GIG HAD FINISHED, HE SAID INTO THE MIKE.
" I CAN SEE MY DIEHARD FANS, PAT, HAYLEY, ANN AND CAROL SITTING IN THE FRONT ROW."
IT MADE US ALL FEEL VERY SPECIAL TO BE ACKNOWLEDGED LIKE THAT, EVEN THOUGH WE KNOW GARETH HAS MANY MORE DIEHARD FANS, BLESS HIM!
THEY TOOK OUR TABLE AWAY FOR GARETH TO DO A MEET AND GREET. WHEN IT WAS MY TURN, HE GAVE ME A BIG HUG AND SAID HOW LOVELY IT WAS TO SEE ME,AND I SAID HOW WELL HE HAD DONE. HE SIGNED MY TICKET, AND HUGGED ME AGAIN. IN THE MEANTIME KEITH HAD THE CAMERA LINED UP TAKE A PIC, BUT SUDDENLY THE EXCITED THRONG MOVED, AND HE WAS SHOVED SIDE WAYS, AND IT ENDED UP A LOVELY PIC OF THE CEILING.HAHA! I DON'T MIND REALLY, I HAVE LOTS OF LOVELY PICS WITH GARETH, AND HE DID GET A LOVELY ONE OF ANN, WHICH I AM SURE SHE WILL SHARE WITH US ALL.
AS WE WERE GOING, THE QUEUE TO SEE HIM STRETCHED OUT ENDLESSLY, AND I LAUGHED WHEN I HEARD ONE YOUNG GIRL SAY. " I HAVE WAITED 10 YEARS FOR THIS!"
GARETH GETS BETTER EVERYTIME HE PERFORMS. WE SPENT A WONDERFUL EVENING WITH LOVELY FRIENDS. HAYLEY AND PAT, IT WAS GREAT TO SPEND THE EVENING WITH YOU, AND ANN AND PETER, YOU ARE TRUE FRIENDS ALWAYS. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING YOUR SPECIAL TICKETS WITH US AND ALLOWING US TO HAVE THE PRIVILEGE OF SITTING RIGHT NEAR TO WHERE GARETH WAS PERFORMING.
I WILL POST THE PICS SEPARATELY, ENJOY!
