I have to think that me, My wife and my young son are the luckiest Mika Fans Alive after the carry on we had to see this amazing artist live in Newcastle.
After trying for what feels like forever to get tickets (and failing) , I was sent to collect a customer from the university as a taxi driver.
The customers in question were Cherisse(Drums), Luke(Keyboards), and Mike(Bass Guitar).
As I had the album playing in the car, I got talking to the three of them and explained how I had not been able to get tickets, I was offered the chance to be on the guest list with my wife and son. Obviously only a total fool would decline such an amazing offer so I duelly accepted :thumb_yello:
After watching one of the best gigs I have ever seen (and I have seen some very big names), I asked one of the university security to pass a message to the band to say thank you for an amazing offer and night again.
He said he would see if one of the band would come to the back door to see me. If you were amongst the people at the back door when Luke came out, you would have seen me, my wife and son escorted back into Studio 2 where Mika was milling around.
He is such a nice person.
He did not rush us at all and was willing to spend as much time as we wanted.
I also wanted to say thank you to the rest of the band aswell and Luke obliged by taking us through to their room where my son got the rest of the autographs to complete the set.
I think the lollipop girl is such an excellent and unique idea to have at the concerts.
I have included some pictures but cannot promise they work as I have never posted pics on a forum before
We also met some of Mika's family and they are as nice as him. I cannot wait for him to come back andthink he will be playing at least the City Hall if not the Arena next time
