Heather

and from me too Snowdrop!

That was lovely thanks Heather. Gareth sounds very happy in that interview.

Ruthie Henshawe has been nominated for an award.

Lovely report and pics Suzie, thanks so much. Gareth is wearing the same t shirt he had on when I went.

Thank you so much for those lovely reports and pics. I can feel the happiness in the way you describe your day. All those comments about Gareth being the perfect gentleman and so patient with the fans, I totally agree. It doesn't matter when you see him, or what may be going on in his life, Gareth always has time for everyone, and nothing is too much trouble. It's a pity that other "stars" can't take a leaf out of his book, as Gareth never forgets the people who helped to put him where he is. :heart:

That is nice to hear. Also like the blog from the lady who said it reminded her of just why she enjoyed him so much in Pop Idol. :heart: I hope that all those that went this weekend had a great time! I'm off agagin next saturday!

How long after he starts do they go? I always thought they were there at the beginning. If we have it yet to come that is excellent! I received an email from my friend, who was not particularly a fan of Gareth, she was there supporting her grandson, who is in it, and she said very complimentary things about Gareth's performance on Saturday night.

I love that report, it's great. I only wish we could read some reviews by these critics, as I haven't seen anything in the newspapers yet.

When I read through this thread my excitement just kept mounting! It sounds like Gareth has caused a huge stir, and people are going to realise just how professionasl he is! I'm so very thrilled for him!

I hope I am posting in the right thread. My friend, whose Grandson is in Joseph has told me that she has met and spoken with Gareth. She took a liking to him straightaway. Apparently during last week when Ricky was playing Joseph, Gareth was stood at the side of the stage inside , watching and practising his dance moves whilst singing at the same time. She has also emailed me this evening to say that there are a lot of bigwigs in the audience tonight, it's very important for Gareth that they are so interested, and rumour has it that ALW will also be there, as he expects only the best, even from his understudies. Those are her words, but it seems there is already a lot of interest in Gareth.

Thanks so much. It was so lovely to read those comments from previously non Gareth fans. It is normal to be nervouse, especially performimg before your fans are there to support you. He will be fine as he gets more and more into it. The problem with the mic was not his fault, so his voice will sound even better once that is all sorted out.

What a lovely blog Khelda, thanks so much for posting it. My friend's grandson is in Joseph, he's worked with Lee for the last 6 months, and has already said to her that he is very excited about working with Gareth. It seems they all have huge respect for Gareth in the cast already, and realise just how talented he is. This is particularly pleasing, as Lee was also good, but Gareth will inject his own personal talent into the role.

Mine arrived today, and just managed to hear a bit of Gareth. His voice sounds so beautiful!

What a lovely review! I'm still waiting for mine to come, I've ordered it, but not here yet.

That is a lovely endorsement from a journalist for Gareth. Thanks so much!

Great news, thanks!

This is amazing news, and I am very proud of Gareth! Thanks for all the links. Not one bad remark made about him for a change.

I'm so glad it's been officially confirmed! I'm thrilled for them! :heart:

Thank you for telling us. I. too, would love to hear about it.

Great stuff.

Thanks so much for that, it's lovely!

Thanks very much for all that info.

Thanks so much or those pics Snowdrop, lovely! :heart:

That was lovely Val! The more I see his new hairstyle, the more I like it!

Did anyone see Soccer Aid at 6-30 pm tonight, and if so was Gareth featured? I missed it, thinking it was going to be on about 10-30, stupid absent minded person that I am!
