PLWASE FEEL FREE TO MOVE THIS THREAD IF ITS IN THE WRONG PLACE DEBBIE


GARETH WAS THE NEAREST HE;S EVER BEEN TO WHERE I LIVE YET EVERYTHING SEEMED TO GO WRONG BEFORE HAND. MY FRIEND FROM WELLING BOUGH WAS GOING TO COME TO GO TO THE SHOW WITH ME BUT SHE WASN'T AT ALL WELL AND AS IT WAS SO FOGGY AND BITTERLY COLD , IT WASN'T FIT FOR HER TO COME. I WAS REALLY DISAPIONTED AS SHE WAS, AS WE HAVN'T SEEN EACH OTHER SINCE JOSEPH WHEN SHE SHARED MY TICKETS I WON.
PETER HADN'T REALLY WANTED TO GO AGAIN ALTHO HE REALLY ENJOYED NOTTS, BUT HE KNEW HOW MUCH SEEING GARETH MEANT TO ME AND SAID HE WOULD GO AS I COULDN'T FIND ANYONE ELSE LAST MINETE. WHAT A WONDERFULL MAN I HAVE

WE LEFT HOME EARLY AND THE JOURNEY WAS DREADFULL. TRAFFIC , THICK FOG AND GETTING LOST!ITS ESIER TO GET TO LONDON!THE CAR PARK WAS IN THE HALL GROUNDS NEXT TO THE BACK ENTRANCE. I ASSUMED GARETH AND CO WOULD HAVE ALREADY ARRIVED BUT PETER COULD SEE SEVERAL PEOPLE ON THE STEPS WAITING AROUND. WE WENT TO INVESTIGATE. THERE WAS ABOUT 15 PEOPLE ALL CHATTING AWAY AND WE WERE GREETED SO FRIENDLY AND GIVEN A SPARE POSTER FOR SIGNING BY A YOUNG GUY. THEY HAD BEEN THERE SINCE 11AM AND THEY WERE FROZE. BUT EVERYONE WAS SO CHEERFULL AND IT LIFTED OUR SPIRITS AND WE SOON JOINED IN THE BANTER. NO THE TOUR BUS HAD NOT ARRIVED YET ;D AND I COULDN'T BELIEVE OUR LUCK ;DIT WAS VERY LATE AND WHEN IT CAME IT WAS SO EXCITING. ONE OF THE GIRLS RAN SCREAMING TO CHICO OTHERS WENT TO SHANE AND AT LAST GARETH GOT OUT ;D HE WAS SOON BUSY WITH SIGNINGS AND PIC AND EVENTUALLY I COULD GET NEAR HIM . HE GREETED ME WITH A HUG AND I HAD A PIC AND HE SIGNED THE BN POSTER THE YOUNG MAN HAD KINDLY GIVEN ME. IT WAS WONDERFULL TO SEE GARETH AGAIN. HE ALWAYS PUTS THE BIGGEST SMILE ON MY FACE AND HIS HUG WARMED ME THROUGH. .


I WON'T DESCRIBE ALL THE SHOW AS JUNE AND EVERYONE DID A GREAT JOB.IT WAS ALL BRILLIANT. THERE WERE A LOT OF CHICO FANS IN THE AUDIENCE BUT EACH TIME GARETH HAD SUNG HE HAD GREAT APPLAUSE . HE WAS EVEN FUNNIER IN YMCA, FLAUNTING HIS BODY IN THE CHEEKIEST WAY , AND THE CROWD LOVED IT ;D
I ENJOYED THE OSMONDS HARMONIES WHEN THEY SANG WITHOUT MUSIC. THAT WAS BRILLIANT. WE TRIED TO TAKE LOTS OF PICS THIS TME , HOPE TO SHOW THEM SOON.


SORRY GUYS, WILL HAVE TO CONTINUE TOMORROW. WESAW GARETH AFTER THE SHOW TOO, WILL TELL YOU TOMORROW SO WATCH THIS SPACE ;)I'M JUST SO TIRED.


WELL HERE GOES AGAIN :)BUT I'M IN UNFAMILIER TERRITORY AS I DON'T KNOW WHERE I AM , THIS LAYOUT IS ALL NEW TO ME SO I HOPE YOU FIND ME


TO CONTINUE.....
DUREING GARETH SINGING SITS, HE LEANED RIGHT OVER TO HOLD ALL THE OUTSTRETCHED HANDS OF THE PEOPLE ON THE FRONT ROWS WHO WERE ALL STANDING UP AGAINST THE STAGE. WE WERE A BIT FURTHER BACK BUT IT WAS STILL LOVELY TO SEE THEIRE ENTHUSIASM TOWARDS GARETH. PETER SAID HE SPOTTED US AND ACKNOWLEDFED US AS HE ASKED THE AUDIENCE TO SING SITS. THE ATMOSPHERE WAS ELECTRIC THE WHOLE OF THE SHOW AND I FELT SORRY WHEN IT WAS OVER.

WE WENT OUT TO THE STAGE DOOR AS I SO WANTED TO TELL GARETH HOW MUCH WE HAD ENJOYED THE SHOW. ALSO WE WOULD LIKE TO MEET THE OSMONDS AS THEY SEEMED TO DISAPEAR IN BEFOREHAND.
IT WASN'T MANIC ALTHO THERE WERE A LOT OF PEOPLE WAITING. GARETH CAME OUT AT LAST AND EVENTUALY WE GOT TO SPEAK TO HIM. I TOLD HIM HE HAD GOT REALLY CHEEKY IN HIS SHORTS. HE THOUGHT THAT WAS HILERIOUS AND LAUGHED LIKE ANYTHING. ANOTHER LADY TOLD HIM HOW BRILLIANT HE HAD BEEN AND ONE BY ONE HE MOVED THROUGH THE HUDDLE OF FANS SIGNING AND HAVEING PICS. WE STOOD NEAR WATCHING AND LISTENING ENJOYING EVERYONES REACTION TO GARETH AND THE WAY GARETH WAS SO LOVELY TO EVERYONE. THERE WAS NO CRUSH AS WE HAD ALL THE CAR PARK TO SPREAD OUT ONTO AS GARETH EDGED SLOWLY TOWARDS THE TOUR BUS. EVENTUALLY CALLING, NIGHT GUYS, TO US ALL AND RUNNING TO THE BUS.WHAT A FLOOD OF EMOTIONS COME OVER YOU WHEN GARETH HAS GONE. JOY AND ELATION ON CLOUD NINE, SADNESS THAT ITS ALL OVER, WISHING YOU HAD SAID MORE , OR SOMETHING DIFFERENT AND WISHING AND HOPEING FOR THE NEXT TIMES GARETH ENCOUNTER.

THE OSMANDS APEARED JUST AFTER AND THEY WERE SWALLOWED UP BY FANS.LUCKILY MERRIL CAME NEAR US AND PETER TOLD HIM WE HAD BEEN TO NOTTS TOO AND SEEN THEM THERE AND ENJOYED THE SHOW.ASKED IF I COULD HAVE A PIC WITH HIM . MERRIL WAS SO NICE SO DIGNIFIED AND COMPLETLY RELAXED. HE PUT HIS ARM ROUND ME FOR A PHOTO AND SPOKE TO ME IN HIS WONDERFULL AMERICAN ACCENT.. I FELT VERY HONOURED .


I COULDN'T HAVE WISHED FOR A BETTER NIGHT. I FELT SO SAD THAT MY FRIEND HAD MISSED IT ALL AS I JNOW SHE WOULD HAVE LOVED IT. BUT HOPEFULLY THERE WILL BE ANOTHER TIME.

WELL THE PHOTOS WILL APEAR AT SOME POINT!
