Thank you so much Maggiemags - just listened again - still fantastic !!! I am still sad it didn't tape for me. Snowdrop - Gareth wore his Joseph coat to sing Close every door and a white shirt for the interview.

He was fantastic !!!!! I could scream though - I set the tape to record it and when I have gone to check it has turned itself off. Is it repeated any time?

My daughters and I caught an early train from Manchester and after spending the afternoon sightseeing we headed to the theatre on Saturday evening where we had arranged to meet up to say hello to Maggiemags, Snowdrop, Floz and Vicky.It was lovely to meet other Gareth fans for the first time and to put faces to the names on here. They made us very welcome. We had great seats in the stalls, they were row O and we had a really good view. It was nice not to be apprehensive about Gareth's performance, having read all the glowing reports from others who had already seen his performances. I thought Gareth was wonderful (no surprise there!!!) His voice was beautiful as always and his acting was really good too - I can't believe how little experience he has had to have become so accomplished already.I thoroughly enjoyed the whole show.After the show I was anxious to hear my daughters' opinion for although they like Gareth, I knew they would give me an honest opinion. Anyway, they thought he was really, really good too - so that made me very happy! :smile: We had another busy sightseeing day today too and arrived home tonight , tired but happy!!! Lovely to read all the other reports and see the photos, thank you.

I'm going tomorrow - can't wait!

Aww, thank you for that extra bit Khelda, sounds wonderful

Thank you Khelda, it was waiting up to read. Did the Gareth get the response from the audience that he deserved?

I don't have any fingernails left, what time does it finish? :frantics:

Oh, that's given me butterflies again. Did Khelda mention how he was being received by the audience?

Thank you so much for the news. Is it the interval do we think?

They are lovely posts, I am getting excited at the thought of seeing Joseph

Fantastic news. Delighted for Gareth.

Lovely news. delighted for them both

We saw him four times altogether I think.

Got my copy -Lovely pictures. What an attractive couple they make!

There is a picture of Gareth on the Sky Showbiz site - it is picture no.22 of 50 http://showbiz.sky.com/v-festival-frolics If someone could please post this on the Official site as I can't get on there for some reason!

I would agree with everyone - lovely article, fabulous pictures - what I like most is how radiant and happy they both look in every picture.

Much nicer article in Hello online http://www.hellomagazine.com/music/2008/07...-gates-marries/

Thank you all for your reports - it's lovely to read how well everything went

Yipee - I can get on the boards today. What a lovely experience for you Linda. I went on Friday night - Had a great time - Gareth was on top form, scoring 25.5. He looked gorgeous and really looked like he was enjoying himself. His skating was perfect - one of the judges said he was a superstar! ( which we all knew anyway of course) Peter Kay was the guest judge, and, as you can imagine threw the judging into chaos - largely basing his marks on the music and in Linda's case, awarded a 6.00 - because she asked him to backstage lol) Really enjoyed the show but no close encounters to report. Thanks to all for the reports - it's only when I have tried to do one myself that I have realized how difficult it is to recall all the details - I can't remember who said what now.

Thanks for the report, I'm going to a Manchester performance in May so it seems ages away - these reports will keep me going!

Really enjoyed the show tonight - obviously especially Gareth who I thought was excellent, but I the whole show was entertaining.

Thanks for posting Nat. It is really nice to read posts from people who were at events. Sounds like you had a lovely day.

Thought it was a brilliant performance. I would have liked to know what Ruthie was trying to say to him at the end!

Lovely pictures, thank you

Oh thank you so much for that :smile:
