Guest NicolaJayne Posted July 15, 2011 Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 Thank you for letting us know Janice, I have been wondering all night what Gareth would be singing. Do hope we will get a recording from someone or even better a video. I have the children stay over on Friday so couldn't go but will be at Dartford on Sunday. Just hope the weather is better than the forecast at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorksheather Posted July 16, 2011 Report Share Posted July 16, 2011 Thanks for posting your Pizza Express news last night Janice, your friends must have had a wonderful time, I wish I could have gone.One hour of Gareth and all those brilliant songs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Val4Gareth Posted July 16, 2011 Report Share Posted July 16, 2011 Thanks for all your great info from last night Janice. Can almost imagine being there with what you've posted. So glad to hear that Pete is still with Gareth and I would have loved to hear him singing the Adele song in particular. Sounds like it was a great night. at the piano player going to the wrong place.

Heather Posted July 16, 2011 Report Share Posted July 16, 2011 June and I have just returned from Pizza Express. We had a fantastic time! We can't do reports at the moment as we have a full weekend, but just to say there was no new material, according to Ali the new music is not ready yet.

Khelda Posted July 16, 2011 Report Share Posted July 16, 2011 Thanks Carol, looking forward to yours and June's report. Shame about the new music not being ready yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorksheather Posted July 16, 2011 Report Share Posted July 16, 2011 Looking forward to your and June's report Carol, I guessed there was no new music from Janice's friends report . Had to laugh about not having a sound check, as JLS didn't perform at a big show last week, because they didn't have time for a sound check, Gareth plays on regardless and was sounding great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing stops Gareth where his music is concerned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lindajan Posted July 17, 2011 Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 Thanks Janice for the details of Gareth's gig on Friday. It's lovely to have some idea of what he sang. Glad you had a great time, Carol and June. Looking forward to your reports and finding out what Gareth thought of your book, June. Have a fantastic time at Dartford later today.

Suzie Posted July 18, 2011 Report Share Posted July 18, 2011 Cheers Janice for giving us lots off detail about friday night sounded a brilliant gig. Really looking forward to hearing your reports ladies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heather Posted July 18, 2011 Report Share Posted July 18, 2011 This is the second time I have written this report, as I just lost the lot when I tried to upload my pics. So here goes again. We managed to get to Maidstone in good time for June to give the book to Gareth. Ali was there with him too. Gareth was very late on, not his fault, the pianist went to Soho by mistake, so everyone was getting a bit fidgety by the time he appeared. He bounced onto the stage, after spotting Vera at the end, spontaneously giving her a kiss, which must have felt very special to her, as she couldn't wait to see him after because she had to get her train. Our table was very close, it was like Gareth singing in your front room, I wish! The backing was just right, not too loud, and Gareth's voice was truly amazing. He got a wonderful reception, and many people were waiting to meet him after, so June and I went to the end of the line, and I thought of the first time I met him, and how special it was. When it was our turn, I told him we were coming to Dartford, and what the weather forecast was, and he laughed. If you want to read more details of the evening, I have written my blog, so won't repeat myself here. I just want to say that I hope Gareth does more intimate venues like this. It is probably one of the best gigs I have seen him do, and I think fans would love to see him in this setting. I count myself very lucky that he same to my part of the country, both for Pizza Express and Dartford, and hope everyone gets a chance to catch him Here are some randome pics that Keith took Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
