Guest NicolaJayne Posted October 20, 2014 Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 The story also appears in the Sun Heather, she knew they were both going to be there as one of the group Damage said the after party was at Brooklyn Bowl and invited everyone in the audience to join them. I think she just wanted to be the centre of attention and get her name in the press.its got a nice small pic of Gareth and one of Dane. Just forgot to say programmes are £10' for the Big Reunion Tour, but thought it worth it for the nice pics of Gareth with 5th Story and always nice to keep as a memento.also cards were on sale to support the group of your choice but don't know how much they were.

Val4Gareth Posted October 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 Thanks for your lovely report Elaine. Enjoyed reading about it. Pity about your train. I hope everyone going to the show tomorrow has a fantastic time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eternal Posted October 20, 2014 Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 Thanks for the link Heather. Nothing changes. Publicity then and publicity now. Quite surprised at the blurry photos (whilst showing fab ones of Gareth). I notice the photo they have supposedly of Dane Bowers is actually Anthony Costa from Blue so the whole feature is really very unprofessional. I agree Heather Gareth would have known she would have been attending and certain articles have said how he "legged it" from the aftershow party. Wise decision. Today the article appears on every newspaper/magazine available so we can only hope the publicity has helped The Big Reunion. Love that photo Elaine and the Rex Features ones Heather. Thks. Val we will miss you tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Val4Gareth Posted October 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 Had a couple of messages from Chris at the show. There is an advert on every seat advertising Gareth's solo tour. (Hurrah!) Also Kavana isn't there. Its just the four of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest NicolaJayne Posted October 21, 2014 Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 Lots of tweets about Kav being missing tonight, wonder what will happen to "I can make you feel,good"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lindajan Posted October 22, 2014 Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 Elaine - quite simply they didn't sing it, so we were missing a song and more sadly had Gareth on stage for less time. Good show though, but not a patch on seeing Gareth on his own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eternal Posted October 22, 2014 Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 Lucky enough to go to LG Arena in Birmingham last night. Great show (if you had lived through and remembered the 90's music). It was all very professional and the pyrotenics etc were fantastic. For me (who didn't know half of the songs) I quite liked the sound of Damage, loved Blue and of course Gareth being on stage. Stand out song which received the most support from the crowd(apart from Gareth) was Alan Ricketts- Breathe again. It was a belter of a song. Lots of tweets about Kav being missing tonight, wonder what will happen to "I can make you feel,good"? Elaine like Lindajan said nothing because they had to miss the song out entirely meaning less time on stage for Gareth. What a huge dissapointment too for anyone who had come along just to see Kavanah. Strangely enough when I noticed there were only 4 on stage, I thought it was Gareth missing but then realised he was the opposite end of the stage from us. The group did explain in the second half that Kavanah was ill but would be back tomorrow. Fingers crossed for them, he is. The band were in fact still good without Kavanah and received a great reception from the crowd. Gareth's final Spirit in the Sky went down a storm. At the end of the song 5th Story welcomed all the other groups back on stage (to join in Spirit in the Sky) and I noticed Gareth remained turn round with his back to the audience welcoming all the groups as they come down the steps. He was the only one to do this. Forever the gentleman! A good night but prefer Gareth's initimate gigs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So pleased you also managed to get a hug of Gareth (thanks to Maria), and also that Adam seemed to be concerned. He seems a really nice guy. Glad you had a good night and enjoyed the show.

eternal Posted October 22, 2014 Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 Thanks Sarahjane for your report. You were very lucky with your Birthday treat - the meet and greet. You have also given us an insight to how it all works too. Sounds like you really enjoyed the show too. .I have yet to see Kenzie smile Heather I hadn't noticed untill you pointed it out. You are right. However Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Val4Gareth Posted October 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 Thanks for your lovely report SarahJane. I'm glad you managed to get to meet Gareth and have your pic taken with them, seeing you'd got VIP tickets. Think they should make it known that not everyone will get to meet the celebs when they're encouraging people to buy VIP tickets. Thanks for your reports too Chris and Linda.

Guest NicolaJayne Posted October 22, 2014 Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 I have been out all day so only just see your lovely report Sarahjane, really enjoyed reading it Must have been lovely to go to the meet and greet, and great you got your pic with Gareth on his own. Everyone seemed very confused about the meet and greet and it was even said there may only be one person from each group, I wouldn't have dared to book M. & G as I would have felt so cheated if Gareth had not been there. It was a shame that they didn't substitute another song with Kavanagh being absent as it resulted in Gareth being on stage for less.time. Thank you also for your report Chris. I was the same didn't know half the songs, except for Blue as they were all big Hits. I agree Lindajan a great show but not a patch on seeing Gareth singing solo. It brought back memories of Hammersmith didn't it. Looking forward to seeing your pics when you get them Sarahjane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
