I HAVE BEEN OFFLINE FOR A WEEK NOW, AS WE HAVE BEEN STAYING IS SUFFOLK WITH NO INTERNET ACCESS AT THE MOMENT. IT'S LOVELY TO BE BACK, AND I CAN'T WAIT TO SHARE DETAILS OF A FANTASTIC EVENING WITH YOU ALL!
WHEN I KNEW WE WOULD BE IN SUFFOLK, I BOOKED THE SKEGNESS GIG, THINKING IT WAS ONLY ABOUT AN HOUR'S JOURNEY FROM SUFFOLK, SO WE ONLY PLANNED TO GO FOR A DAY, BUT IT WAS 100 MILES, AND WHEN WE ARRIVED, WE FOUND SKEGNESS BURSTING WITH PEOPLE, AS IT WAS CARNIVAL DAY. WE MOVED OUT TO ANOTHER BAY FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS, THEN CAME BACK WHEN IT HAD QUIETENED DOWN TO MEET JUNE AND KAREN. WE THOUGHT KAREN WAS A GREAT PERSON, ESPECIALLY AS SHE SAID SHE WASN'T A GARETH FAN, AND ONLY CAME TO SUPPORT JUNE.
THANKYOU GIRLS FOR LETTING US GET CHANGED OUT OF OUR SHORTS AT THE B AND B, WE HAD SUCH A LAUGH, KEITH AMONGST 3 WOMEN, IS IN HIS GLORY!
THE EMBASSY IS A VERY INTERESTING THEATRE, I WROTE ABOUT IT IN MY LAST BLOG, IT HAS A HISTORY, AND A GREAT ATMOSPHERE. IT WAS SO EXCITING TO SEE GARETH DOING A GIG BACK IN A THEATRE, AND I WAS PLEASED TO SEE THEM SPORTING A GREAT BIG PICTURE OF HIM OUTSIDE THE FRONT OF THE THEATRE, AND WITH ALL THOSE VISITORS FOR THE CARNIVAL, I WAS CONFIDENT THERE WOULD BE A LOT OF SEATS SOLD. ;D
WE MET UP BEFORE THE SHOW WITH ANN AND PETER IN THE FOYER, AND WE HAD A LAUGH AND A CHAT, THE ATMOSPERE WAS HAPPY AND CHARGED WITH EXCITEMENT. I DO TAKE MY HAT OFF TO ANN AND PETER, AS THEY HAD ALSO BEEN TO MILTON KEYNES THE DAY BEFORE, AND LOVELY AS IT IS, IT'S ALSO VERY TIRING.
OUR SEATS WERE IN THE SECOND ROW, IT WAS QUITE A WHILE BEFORE THE PEOPLE IN THE FIRST ROW TURNED UP IN FRONT OF US, AND KEITH JOKED THAT THEY WOULD BOUND TO BE TALL, AND THEY WERE, SO I TRIED TO PEEP BETWEEN THEM.
I WAS AMAZED TO SEE PETE COME ON STAGE FIRST , FOLLOWED BY THE PIANO PLAYER AND GARETH. SKEGNESS PEOPLE WERE WONDERFUL, THE WELCOME THEY GAVE HIM WAS LOUD AND ENTHUSIASTIC. I SOMEHOW THINK GARETH MAY NOT HAVE PLAYED MANY GIGS THAT WAY BEFORE, AND IT WAS A NEW EXPERIENCE FOR THEM.
HE STARTED OFF IN SOMBRE MOOD, WITH ECAET, AND CED, THEN PICTURES OF THE OTHER SIDE, AND ANGEL ON MY SHOULDER. THE HUSH WHILST HE SANG, THEN THE RAPTUROUS APPLAUSE AFTER MADE IT CLEAR HE HAD CONNECTED WITH THEM, AND HIS VOICE, CAN IT GET ANY BETTER, ? WELL IT DOES, EVERY TIME I HEAR HIM, HE SINGS FROM HIS SOUL, HE FELS WHAT HE SINGS, THERE IS PAIN ETCHED ON HIS FACE WHEN HE SINGS ABOUT HIS FRIENDS LOST IN BATTLE, IT IS JUST SO EXQUISITELY BEAUTIFUL!
THEN HAVING GIVEN US A WHETNER, GARETH TOOK A BREAK AFTER PROMISING TO COME BACK AND ROCK THE HOUSE DOWN. NIK lOWE, THE SUPPORT ACT CAME ON, I HAVE WRITTEN ABOUT HIM IN MY BLOG BELOW, AND ALSO ABOUT THE REACTIONS OF THE AUDIENCE TO GARETH, BUT WILL MENTION A LITTLE HERE.
I THINK THERE IS A ROCK GOD INSIDE GARETH WAITING TO GET OUT, AND THAT NIGHT HE UNLEASHED IT MORE THAN I HAVE EVER SEEN BEFORE. GARETH WAS HAVING THE TIME OF HIS LIFE, AND SO WAS EVERYONE ELSE.
I FORGOT TO SAY, THE THEATRE TAKES OVER 1,00 PEOPLE, AND WITH THE EXCEPTION OF 2 BOCKS IN THE CIRCLE, IT WAS FULL TO BURSTING, SO THERE MUST HAVE BEEN ABOUT 900 PLUS PEOPLE THERE THAT NIGHT.
THANK YOU H FOR SHARING MY BLOG AND THE LINKS ABOUT THE SHOW AROUND FACEBOOK. I AM SURE IT HELPED ;D
GARETH INVITED US TO STAND UP AND PARTY, ONLY A FEW PEOPLE DID, I WAS ONE OF THEM, AND WAS REWARDED BY A WAVE WHEN HE SAW ME, AS WAS ANN AND JUNE. ;D
JUNE HAS LISTED THE SONGS HE SANG, GIRLS WERE SWOONING OVER HIM. ONE PARTICULARLY FUNNY INCIDENT WAS WHEN HE WAS SINGING SITS, AND CAME OFF THE STAGE TO LOOK FOR VOLUNTEERS TO SING WITH HIM, ONE YOUNG GIRL RAN INTO HIS ARMS SCREAMING. " I AM IN GARETH GATES' ARMS!" HE LAUGHED AND SAID " YES, NOW SING" BUT HE COULDN'T GET ANY SINGING OUT OF HER SHE WAS STAR STRUCK.
DURING THE EVENING MORE AND MORE PEOPLE STOOOD UP, AND BY THE END, EVERYONE WAS ON THEIR FEET, THE GARETH MAGIC WAS WORKING FULLTIME! ;D
AT THE END DURING MUSTANG SALLY, ( I HAVE MENTIONED ABOUT YOU IN MY BLOG ANN, HOPE YOU DON'T MIND) THE PLACE ERUPTED, ALL SENSE OF ORDER WAS GONE, AS FANS RUSHED TO THE STAGE, VIDEO CAMERA AND CAMERAS GOING, WELL IT WAS TOO LATE TO BE CHUCKED OUT WASN'T IT? AND GARETH CARRIED ON REGARDLESS, SINGING, TOUCHING HANDS, GIRLS SCREAMING "GARETH TOUCHED MY HAND!"
THE LADY NEXT TO ME HAD SEEN GARETH SAY HALLO AND WAVE TO ME WHEN HE WAS SINGING, SO SHE ASKED ME IF SHE WENT UP, WOULD HE TOUCH HER HAND, SHE SPOKE AS THOUGHT HE WAS A GODLIKE FIGURE, SUCH AWE IN HER VOICE, IT MADE ME SMILE SECRETLY. I ASSURED HER HE WOULD, AND UP SHE WENT, THERE WAS SUCH A LOOK OF HAPPINESS ON HER FACE WHEN SHE CAME BACK, IT WAS TOUCHING. I DON'T THINK SHE WILL EVER FORGET THAT NIGHT.
AFTERWARDS WE ALL WENT TO MEET HIM, CROWDS WERE OUT THERE, AND HE SAW EACH AND EVERY PERSON BEFOR HE WENT HOME. I WAS ABLE TO TELL HIM HOW AMAZING HE HAD BEEN, AND GET A HUG FROM HIM, WHICH IS ALWAYS SO SPECIAL. nOT SURE IF THE PIC CAME OUT, BUT FEELING HIS WARMTH MEANS EVERYTHING. KAREN SHYLY SAID SHE WOULD LIKE A PIC WITH HIM, I LOOKED AT HER SURPRISED AND SAID, " BUT YOU DON'T LIKE HIM DO YOU." SHE SAID COYLY. "MIGHT DO, HE GROWS ON YOU." HE CERTAINLY DOES KAREN , YOU ARE RIGHT THERE, NO-ONE COULD RESIST HIM AFTER THAT AMAZING GIG, AND NO I M NOT A BIT BIASED ;D
OUR GROUP THEN WENT FOR A DRINK, WE HAD SUCH A GREAT TIME, EPSECIALLY OUR JUNE, WHO IS SUCH A PARTY GIRL, SHE WILL GET ME INTO TROUBLE.! loL
WE GOT BACK TO SUFFOLK IN 2 HOURS, THEN THE NEXT DAY WE DROVE BACK TO KENT, SO I AM STILL VERY TIRED. HERE IS MY BLOG, I HOPE YOU ALL ENJOY READING IT. I AM EMAILING POLLY TO SAY THANKYOU TO THE EMBASSY FOR HAVING GARETH THERE, AND TO ASK IF THEY WILL HAVE HIM BACK AGAIN, AND NEXT TIME WE WILL STAY THE NIGHT, AND ENJOY WHAT SKEGNESS HAS TO OFFER THE NEXT DAY, BEFORE WE HEAD HOME.
I HAVE NEVER SEEN A WELCOME EQUAL TO THAT OF THE PEOPLE OF SKEGNESS FOR GARETH, IT WAS AMAZING, HIS BEST GIG EVER, HE REALLY DID BRING THE HOUSE DOWN!
