Yorksheather Posted January 6, 2011 Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 It looks like Scarlett will be performing on her 1st wedding anniversary http://theblogpaper.co.uk/article/culture/19feb10/west-end-whispers-scarlett-strallen-weds-md-nick-skilbeck I've been listening to her online and like her voice She is singing a duet here called Happiness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Val4Gareth Posted January 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 Thanks Heather. Her voice sounds a bit like Katie Hall's to me. Quite nice. I wonder how many songs Gareth will be singing at this event. There don't appear to be many other performers listed so could be quite a few.

Khelda Posted January 6, 2011 Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 Looking forward to your reports Cris. I suppose on a Sunday there is no performance from Les Mis, but the other concert date clashes with Les Mis. I take it Gareth will have that day off from Les Mis.

eternal Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 Thanks for the link to Scarlett Strallan singing, Heather. I am not sure about the voice (or is it the song)? Blimey is she asking for divorce by singing with the lovely Gareth Gates on her first wedding anniversary? Romantic songs too The 'What's On at Town Hall and Symphony Hall for February March' booklet dropped through my letter box today, with this evening being advertised I hadn't noticed this bit previously- For an extra special evening, why not try our Valentine's Hamper? You and your loved one can enjoy Champagne & Luxury chocolates in our private members area for just £30 per couple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eternal Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 What a lovely treat for you eternal. How much do those hampers cost for groups of giddy women? LOL You know, I was sort of thinking similar (well sort of) thoughts. Can just imagine some guy hoping to impress his new girl with champagne, chocs and a concert of romantic songs, only to have her drooling over Gareth and his voice.

Snowdrop Posted January 9, 2011 Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 Great news Heather. You know, I've been looking at the promoter's website: http://www.raymondgubbay.co.uk/ and they put on a lot of concerts. A mixture of one off events and small tours, so if these events go well, it is possible that they might have Gareth back doing more some other time, perhaps in other venues. I also wonder if it is significant that they have picked two venues in cities where Les Miserables visited? I'm sure Gareth picked up a lot of new fans, or revived a lot of interest amongst those who went, and who realised it was him, lol. Hopefully there will be some local press about it, so it might be worth keeping an eye out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest NicolaJayne Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 I am happy to say I have now booked my tickets and going to the Valentine Concert in Birmingham. Still cant quite believe I am going. I have asked my hubby every night and each time the answer has been the same, but tonight I used a different tactic and said I didn't want to go out for a meal this Valentines Day as we usually do because I would be wishing I was at the concert instead, and he said you had better book to go to Birmingham then. I was just about to look for a cheap hotel when he said we would come straight back so he only needs to take one day off work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
