You’re welcome. Yes definitely being messed about, even more annoying the principal of the thing is it’s right on top of Christmas and some of us could probably do with the refund money if it ends up definitely not happening. If there is any more discussions between both parties to try and get the gigs to stay then someone needs to let us know they are trying.

Yes still nothing from Twilight. I somehow missed Mondays posts in here or I did but forgot I’d seen them and to reply. I replied the day after Twilight put their response to Gareths managements announcement and I said it’s a shame if something can’t be sorted to keep these gigs on and that I held on from getting a refund so far, next morning they replied to me it’s this. Maria Witherford I would love to tell you the exact reason behind this Maria but I can’t. I will say that it isn’t Gareth that has the issue and it came as a shock to us to see this on Saturday as we were about to confirm the Bolton location. Then I replied, Kevin Gurney I understand you can’t tell me the exact reason. I knew it wouldn’t be Gareth with the issue bless him. Thanks for your reply. x The other day I decided to email See Tickets requesting a refund as that’s where I bought them, I’ll copy and paste my emails and theirs to which I haven’t replied back to their last reply yet. I would like a refund for this event as it has been cancelled by Gareths management. I know the original date for this event was a couple of months ago but was postponed to January but this has now been cancelled. As it is Christmas next week I am unable to risk waiting if there'll be a new date as this sounds unlikely due to circumstances around why it was cancelled.ThanksMaria.

Thank you for this Eternal fantastic photos and interesting to see behind the scenes.

Awwww such lovely photos and a lovely read thanks for posting, lovely to see him happy and enjoying himself.

Fox Tailoring posted this on their Facebook yesterday. Sounds a fantastic evening.

Was lovely to see Gareth back on the ice the other day with his beautiful daughter Missy

I’m confused as to what on Earth has gone on as I just seen Twilight Productions shared the status and said this. So this came as a bit of a surprise to us in the early hours of this morning as we were due to announce the new Bolton venue on Monday. Right at this moment I don’t have any further information so I’m not in a position to answer any questions - bad timing as it’s a weekend and we’re out on another event. As soon as we know exactly what’s gone on I’ll post an update here.

The new dates now confirmed cancelled by Gareths management on Facebook had a feeling something wasn’t right to be honest

Awww I’m glad you ladies enjoyed the panto Gareth was definitely the perfect prince as always. Thank you for your posts this evening Eternal and sharing this. Was lovely seeing the Instagram stories. So lovely to see he has Missy with him, I’m sure they enjoyed Frozen 2 together.

Awwww yes I loved his reaction to the get a sexy girlfriend email haha, glad he’s feeling better about it all now. Will still have his down days but they’re getting less and less. True he doesn’t need a girlfriend and the right girl will come along when the time is right.

Thank you for emailing and letting us know Val hopefully soon when they are sorted into place fully they’ll be added to Gareths site and Facebook.

That’s true, just because something isn’t shared on social media it doesn’t mean it isn’t happening. Love this message he put on Instagram as well as the link to the gig/performance list.

Looks like Gareth and some of the cast of Cinderella enjoyed a night out last night.

This is a screenshot from Gareths Instagram story today

Hope it will be a good month for all x

Thank you for sharing this article Chris, nice to read about the man behind it. I took some screenshots of an Instagram story Gareth put on yesterday what I think was preview photos for the photo shoot.

Gareth has posted 2 lovely covers on his Instagram over the weekend, both now on his Facebook too, first one he tweeted too. Forever by Lewis Capaldi Hotel Room by Calum Scott

I’m not surprised I cant think of anyone more stunning to do this. So much better than them flowery suits he doesn’t seem to wear as much now. I know they were a love or hate type of things although hate is to much of a strong word.

Thank you for this Link such beautiful photos

Such a beautiful evening for such an important cause, when I heard Gareth was performing at this event again and at the time didn’t know if I’d get to see him this year I thought I have to go this year and why not if it’s possible. It was such a relaxed atmosphere and instead of all sitting round tables to eat a meal like previous Diamond and Ice parties they had food trucks set up where you could go when you wanted. There was a bar and DJs playing music so you could get up and dance when you wanted or sit down and relax, there was the main room with all that and where gareth performs then another with seats where the live auction and raffle later took place and another with seats so you can relax. I met Lisa Stamp a Gareth fan from Twitter and Facebook and her friend who were both lovely. Gareth appeared near the bar, we said hi and got hug off him, Lisa had a pic but I didn’t ask at this point, Lisa doesn’t get to see him much and I knew I could have one later. Cheryl who set up the event done a speech on how she got through having thyroid cancer and how it changed her life, she expressed how important it is to check our necks and that she set up the event to raise awareness and to help others in similar situations. Gareth came on and did an acoustic set in the earlier part of the evening, he didn’t sing anything new but was beautiful to hear all the same and to see him playing the piano for a few of them, another one of his talents always beautiful to hear. Dance with my Father, Ed Sherans Perfect, Yesterday, Faith, Unchained Melody and a couple of others. This was followed by a guy doing a couple of magic tricks. Later on the Robbie Williams tribute did a set then a little while after that Gareth was back on doing more of a party vibe, again doing songs he’s done before at those parts of gigs but still fun all the same, he done quite a few, more than just 5 or 6. He got a few people on stage with him like he does during Spirit in the Sky, because I couldn’t hear myself anyway by this point because of all the music and cheering I put my hand out to get up then he chose me, was such a lovely experience being up there with him, probably the last as no way I could if I could hear myself haha. After his set he went off to freshen up then came back to have a drink at the bar where he was chatting to the Robbie tribute and some others involved with the party, photographers etc then had pics with some people, there wasn’t a meet and greet set up but because of the set up he was more than happy to have photos with anyone who wanted one. He gave me and Lisa a hug, I didn’t ask for a photo at this point, Lisa had a joint one with Gareth and the Robbie tribute. Gareth later went off but he was still at the party in the room at the opposite end sat chatting to a few I think involved with the party, we went to say goodbye to him as the party was almost finished and I had a photo with him then, wasn’t very clear due to the lighting in the room and my phone, think I still had flash turned off though from when I visited Kitty Cafe with Sarahjane for her birthday. One pic was a stage selfie I managed to get. I’ll post some pics here but will post videos separately.

Thank you for this . It’s interesting to know what he was in Newcastle for, bet it was a lovely evening seeing him judging.

I had ended up cancelling this just a day or two after saying I’d booked as I didn’t think I’d be able to afford it when Bolton came up and I’d decided to book that as it’s close to Manchester but now that’s been put back to Jan as I recently decided to get a refund for that because there’s no guarantee it will still happen. Booked again now when I heard there were still tickets left, yesterday they posted on their Facebook it’s now sold out.
