Snowdrop Posted January 29, 2011 Report Share Posted January 29, 2011 It's up to you, and perhaps everyone else will disagree with me, but I don't see the point in adding @Gareth_Gates to your reply. In fact, I think it will just confuse people, and will prevent Gareth from seeing just how many people have been asking him about the concerts. Imagine him getting home tonight and checking his tweets. He'll probably just look at the the most recent ones, which will the ones from you and Val etc telling people stuff he already knows. It will be a lot less obvious that there were a lot of people who didn't have a clue what he was on about, or that he needs to tweet that information himself.

maria_1981 Posted January 29, 2011 Report Share Posted January 29, 2011 I understand what you mean Snowdrop so ive deleted the @Gareth_Gates again and just replied to the person himself,Val had already replied to one person putting @Gareth_Gates so anyone that does search it will see that reply,its a good idea for anyone who does search @Gareth_Gates who dont know about the shows but it dont really need one from me on there as well.

ValR Posted February 6, 2011 Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 There was an advert for this in my local free Manchester newspaper. Unfortunately they gave all the details for Birmingham and none for Manchester!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorksheather Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 The Manchester show is listed in The Halifax Courier's Entertainment Guide today , it says Valentines at the Musicals with Gareth Gates and Scarlett Strallen plus the Manchester Concert Orchestra. My dentist was there a couple of weeks ago , and says the Bridgewater Hall is wonderful, the acoustics and the large comfy seats with headrests and lots of leg room Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Val4Gareth Posted February 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 I also understand the acoustics at the Festival Hall in Birmingham are very good, so should be fantastic. I've been checking on the tickets and they do seem to be selling a bit better this week. I hope everyone going to either concert has a brilliant time.

Khelda Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 Thanks Dorral, lovely to hear Gareth speak of how proud he is of his last album, and so he should its fabulous. And I also loved it that the presenter spoke about Gareth being able to play instruments and how proud he should be being a speach instructor.
