Excellent interview. Gareth has opened the eyes of a lot of people who may have had misconceptions about him. I've never laughed so much while watching the JR show. Even my Brother who's not easily impressed by pop star/celebs, thought Gareth was just brilliant and was amazed at the proress he has made on his speech and just how confident and funny he was.

Hi Khelda Yes I sent a text. So much seems to be happening all at once. We have waited so long for this. And now I see he will be on Jonathon Ross 30th March which is a really great show to get on and will reach a wide audience.

Changes just played on CORE. Great to here it on the radio.

Just ordered mine. Thanks Maggiemags and Snowdrop for another excellent set of CD's. Ray

Wishing you all the Peace and Joy of Christmas and all best wishes for the New Year.

Translation: Young lovers of the singer of Gareth Gates could in Indonesia be disappointed just because of the idol cancelled his concert plan several previous months. Currently this disappointment is treated, because in the near future he will appear in Jakarta. If not the obstacle melintang, Gareth will appear in the agenda that was displayed MTV Indonesia namely MTV Staying Alive of Summit music 2004. This agenda results of the co-operation with the Fiesta Condom (the Foundation DKT Indonesia) and UNDP. The agenda to commemorate the AIDS Day this world will be displayed in the Carnaval Ancol Coast, Jakarta on Saturday (4/12) came. Apart from Gareth that was brought in as the special guest star, this agenda was also livened up by the local group of the musician like Rice, teeth, Peterpan, Naive,/rif, Neutral, Seurieus, RRT, Audy, and the singer dangdut Nita Thalia. According to Debbie Novillia, Communications Coordinator MTV Indonesia, "Gareth's Arrival as real proof of his support for the agenda of MTV Staying Alive of Summit music 2004." This agenda was the good deed agenda because all the results will be contributed to the Indonesian Foundation of the AIDS. The reason so that made Gareth be interested livening up him. "Gareth really cared about this problem of the AIDS," said Debbie again. As far as this is concerned did not yet have the explanation whether Gareth will carry out collaboration with one of the singers or the local group. It was clear that he was planned brought three as far as four songs. For the ticket affair, the organising team indeed did not sell the ticket. However in order to be able to witness the concert the idol, the spectator's candidates it was recommended bought a MTV Trax magazine of the edition in December 2004 to be shown in the entrance of the place of the show.

Thanks Snowdrop for finding that. Just shows how much Gareth is held in high regard with the one sentence statement - Gareth Gates will also perform at this concert! Brilliant.

Gareth does so much for good causes without any fanfare or publicity. God bless him. Nice of ggates to let us know in advance for a change before we find out about it after the event from one of our members.

What a great write up - thanks for posting Heather. I'm so pleased that the people of Bradford showed their undying support for Gareth. He must be chuffed. And such good photos thanks for scanning R4RLJ I was at work for the Pulse broadcast so missed it but I tuned in around 7pm and about 5-6 people phoned the studio to say how great Gareth was and how much they enjoyed his performance. Just a taste of such good things to come next year.
