  1. That's an excellent review, I completely agree. He was very funny, asking the audience if it was 2 years since he was there? Four...? and so on. I thought the crowd were great, we were roaring along to everything and I was massively surprised how many of us knew every word. It's great to hear that your experience was so like mine.
  2. I agree, and talking about being emotional, whether strictly true or not, gave him the time to get his voice back under control.
  3. Wonderful. My view was pretty bad until we stood up. (I couldn't see the DJ but I didn't care, the people in front loved her but I. am. old. Someone playing records is all) Anyway, they were less enamoured with Mika and left half way through. By then we were standing and jumping the whole time. So these videos are a perfect accompaniment to my memories. btw what and where is mfctoo?
  4. As I said the gig was fab-u-lousand I should have gone away but, no, I waited... ... ... ... Eventually, Mika made a very brief appearance at the stage door. No photos, no gifts, no signing, no chats which was a pity. But, as I waited for a taxi and everybody else had gone, the musicians came out and I recognised Max (thankyou Karin, telling me he was blond) and he was happy to talk about Munich, when I last saw him. So not an entirely wasted time and I did draw in the dirt on one of the gig vans 😁

  6. Priority entrance was fun because I'm with Virgin Media which is 02 and the Apollo is 02. Sadly, because I couldn't find anyone who is going here there's not much atmosphere yet.
  7. The rain has stopped so I hope I'll arrive at the Apollo in the dry. The wind seems less and I found a bus straight to my hotel, so that's a good start. Less good was that I've brought a dress to wear and forgot tights. This is not a night for bare legs! Hurrah for a weird Morrison's called Morrison's Kitchen - a meal deal and tights 😁
  8. The weather is looking absolutely horrible! Wind, rain and a train strike...
  9. Sorry I don't know. He used to have support bands ❤ ah, Pull Tiger Tail ❤ But I'd guess 8.30 ish. I don't even know the names of his musicians any more. Are any of them the same as Munich - 2011? I'm a bad fan....
  10. I'm imagine that's going to be it for tonight in Manchester, too. What a pity as I was hoping for an English/French blend. It's certainly bringing a message we need to hear.
  11. I guess we will have to wait until the 4th before we know of there will be much, or anything, in French.
  12. I'm not standing so I don't need to queue this time. It's been 12 years and it just feels too much! 😜
  13. I'm going to the Manchester gig, which although sold out, isn't attracting much chatter on MFC. I have some of the flashing hearts from the very early days 😁 Is the coloured light idea just to put coloured paper over our phone light?
  14. Ha! I'd forgotten my avatar was also taken in Manchester. But my arty signature seems to have gone. And in my effort to put a picture behind my old avatar, I seem to have lost it! Oh well, this one is in Edinburgh.
  15. Well, I'm very much a stranger here, but I had to find my way back because I've got a ticket! 😄 I couldn't go to his last Manchester gig 12 years ago because we were in the city for Andre Rieu with family 😩
  16. In the UK, "family flowers only" is a very common request. I'll see how well my PayPal account behaves. (Edit - great, easy, phew!)
