Take That.....Again!

So we went to see Take That last Monday (26th) for the second time since they got back together. Needless to say Jen was ubelievably excited about it, and was nearly uncontrollable by the time we arrived at the Arena.
Our seats were a lot better this time - approx 15 rows from the main stage and 10 rows from the centre stage. This was without doubt the closest I've been to the performers at a concert and it does make a bid difference like. (I've only ever been to Arena and Stadium gigs though).
They did all the well known 'back in the day' songs plus quite a few from their most recent album. The stage show itself was something else, - you couldn't fail to be impressed.

We were also on the end of a row so when they walked back through the crowd from the centre stage to the front - Jen was in grabbing distance...which she obviously did as you can just about make out from their reactions in the video below..!

Also got a couple of other quite good videos; Patience and Only Takes A Minute.....And needless to say there's also a shed load of photos Here.

My Wife's Still A Teeny Bopper At Heart!

Jen and I had a week off work last week and amongst other things we ended up at a Gary Barlow book signing!!

We were sitting eating our Breakfast last Wednesday morning when it came on the regional news that he was doing a book signing to promote his new autobiography at Kingston Park. Jen, being the massive Take That fan that she is immediately got excited and insisted we go! A quick search of Google Groups and I found out that he was at Tesco.

We arrived to find the queue already out of the door but that wasn't going to deter Jen, or her work colleague Caroline who had now also joined her. After queing for about 50 mins their time in the spotlight came and they had their 20 seconds of fame with Gary! To be fair he seemed really down to earth and spent time chatting and posing for photos with every fan.

I couldn't believe how many middle aged women there were reduced to tears after their kiss! Considering EVERY person in the queue also bought a book to get signed and he was there for nearly 2 hours , they must have shifted a hell of a lot of books!! (I bought an extra one which was signed and is now doing VERY well on eBay!! ;-)
