After trying all day yesterday and this afternoon, I've finally managed to upload this video from Friday.

Thanks for your great report SarahJane. You always post a really great insight into your day. Please post up all your pictures. Love your pictures Maria. They are really lovely Thanks for posting them up.

No he didn't Heather. I think that was going to be on the tour which was postponed until November so we have that to look forward to. Edit: Sorry Heather, I seem to have messed up your post when I tried to quote it.

Had a fabulous time last night. Gareth was as flawless as ever and he sang more of his own songs this time. I can't remember all of them or in what order but roughly. Started with Sunshine, then Hold On Tight, After those two I can't remember the order, but he sang Say It Isn't So, Listen To My Heart, Can't Believe Its Over, Anyone Of Us, Free, Angel On My Shoulder, Stay, What My Heart Wants To Say, Sentimental Unchained Melody (which was the crowds favourite going by the applause) .. I'm sure I've missed some out, but maybe someone else will remember the others. He then, encouraged everyone to get up and party and then went on to sing some of his usual cover songs like Livin' On A Prayer, Your Sex Is On Fire,,Don't Stop Me Now, Spirit in the Sky and finished with Gravity for the encore. He was a true professional last night. One girl snuck up to the stage which was raised quite high and was taking pictures of him from down below. When Gareth finally spotted her he started to laugh but managed to carry on singing. One of the security men came out to take her off, but Gareth said No, leave her she's ok. Several others did similar later on and he was doubled up with laughter. Don't know how he managed to keep going as everyone in the audience by this time were laughing at the girls and his attempt to keep a straight face, They ran a raffle to win among other things a meet and greet with Gareth and a selfie taken with him. We bought some tickets but then found out if you won you'd have to get up on stage to claim the prize. Both Yvonne and myself then decided in the unlikely event we won we'd pass our ticket on to someone else. Yvonne choose her daughter and I decided I'd pass mine on to SarahJane who was there with Maria and Andrea. Hayley and her mum were also there as was Sadie who used to be on the old OS. She'd not seen Gareth for over five years as she'd been having her two children. Also saw Linda from here. I didn't video any of the first part of the gig, but I did record the end bit where everyone went up to the stage. Led I might add by Sharon (sugarboxgirl). I'll post a link up when I manage to get it on Youtube. As there'd been the raffle to meet Gareth we didn't think we'd get to see him at all after, but the compare informed us he would be meeting anyone who wanted after the show, where he had posters on sale for signing with proceeds going to the McGuire Program. Paul was there with him at the signings and he was as always so appreciative of everyone's support for Gareth even after all these years. Great end to a great evening.

Going to this tomorrow. Really looking forward to it. Haven't heard Gareth sing live since last December.

Thanks for posting all those up Khelda, I was out all day yesterday and missed all the activity. Looks like the gig went down well.

Thanks Heather and Katie. Looks like they all had a good night.

Gareth talks of his initial fears for 5th Story and how its turned out well. http://shows.stv.tv/talk-tv/276903-gareth-gates-admits-big-reunion-fears-and-talks-doi-honour/

Gareth Gates49 minutes ago Gareth announces he will be playing piano and guitar on tour on some of tracks, for the first time on tour Gareth yesterday said he was looking forward to being able to join the band on some of the tracks on his tour. Gareth said ‘ I wasn’t really allowed to do this during the early days, as it didn’t really fit with the Pop Idol image. But I got all my grades at piano and guitar when I was 14 and now I’m a little older, it’s the right time to try out on tour. I’ll have an acoustic set up with keys, guitar and an percussion / drum accompaniment as well. ‘ Get booking your tickets people, don't miss it ! Gareth HQ x

Gareth's team have added a new video section on his Facebook page. Hi everybody We have intoduced a new Video's tab for you to be able to see any Messages from Gareth or Videos like the accoustic tracks on the Very Best of album . This will hopefully enable more of you to see them as we were aware that some of you in some countries were unable to view them on youtube. Gareth HQ x

Gareth scored a goal in today's charity football match. @Gareth_Gates Great game today at Birmingham City today for Harry's Charity. We won and I scored!! pic.twitter.com/wUyKy5i994

Gareth posted up a selfie picture on Twitter, Very nice too. @Gareth_Gates This pretty much sums up how I feel right now #moodyselfie pic.twitter.com/UBi7lQCXh6

Just seen Gareth's tweet about this. What a terrible thing to have happened. I hope Kenzie will be OK and will recover quickly. I always worry about this kind of thing happening with all the dashing up and down the country.Especially after doing gigs and the adrenalin pumping.

Was just going to post that video Heather. Its so lovely isn't it. Also loved the comments from the judges.

I think I may have misinterpreted the tweets and that might have meaqnt Gareth was singing to Jayne & Chris rather than the audience. Which is even lovelier isn't it. (senior moment )

I found it really hard to decide between the two as I absolutely love both songs. In the end I voted for Will You Wait For Me. Simply because the lyrics have always meant so much to me.
