I saw Sam in Brighton last night & he was fab

Really good evening & the two support bands he had were good too which is always a bonus , i cant remember the first group but the second group was 'Sneaky Sounds System' they were great & got the crowd really going! From what i have seen so far on youtube they are much better live - but that of course is only my opinion!

Anyway managed to get front row, which was pleased about as had a busy day & got into the q at 7.15pm for doors to open at 7.30pm, just wandered down & landed a spot! Anyway Sam came on just after 9.30pm & interacted & spoke a lot, backing singers were a real laugh!

Only downful was he did not sing Pocket which is my fav think the time ran out but never mind, would love to go & see him again

Hi Ewokwicket has been to see Sam tonight in Bristol, said he was awesome & very chatty she rang while he was singing 'Pocket' & it sounded great

Really looking forward to seeing him on Friday in Brighton:punk:

Hi thanks for posting this for us

its good to see Luke again fantastic song i love it can't stop singing it!

That was really great & looked a fantastic venue, would have loved to have been there:thumb_yello:

Mika looked so happy as well

BUMP!

5 minutes to go.

:thumb_yello:Thank you! Going to watch now:thumb_yello:

looks like everyone has deserted sam

I haven't

Really looking forward to the 3rd Oct....just wish my tickets would hurry up:thumb_yello:

Imagine after all this waiting we get a Justine and Yvonne blog

:roftl:i was thinking that & it has been a while since their last blog

Just been voting & will vote again later:thumb_yello:

Just thought I would let everyone know, for the newbies who haven't seen it or anyone else who wants to see it again.

Thursday, 28th August, ITV1 (UK) 11.40pm. Vodaphone Summer Series from last year with Mika.

This is the one with Alan Cumming interveiwing him, and our very own Babs seen at the front dancing! Worth seeing for that alone.

Not to be missed!

Rose thanks for posting this, i've never seen it - really looking forward to watching:thumb_yello:

Hi Margaret & Westerpark was great!

I just thought I'd be totally random and bump this thread....As this was my first live Mika experience, the first time I met him, and just really an incredible experience .

 

This is where the proper obsession started, muahahahaha

& what a journey you must have had & what a year! a damn good obsession though:thumb_yello:

I also remember recognising MFC'ers from seeing their pics here, but not daring to speak to them (sorry, I was shy!!!)

Somehow, I just knew that someone would make a comment like that . I promise, I was really shy about it. Even at Somerset House, I saw them all (just in front of me in the queue) and didn't manage to speak to anyone either . Only inside, once the gig had started, I chatted to Sarahlou1973.

 

i've seen so many of you on here at Brixton 28th & Amsterdam & i have been too shy to approach anybody, so stupid i know, i could have kicked myself after though & i am really sorry

 

I think that it was the fact that I had never been in a fanclub before that, and also never on an online forum either.

 

I have never joined a fan club either or posted on an online forum - after reading day after day on the MFC & being a lurker, i could not control the urge - i just had to join:roftl: although i'm still really shy at posting sometimes.

 

And yes, I think that I'm having a bit of a melancholic moment right now, with all the nice memories of such a gig packed year. Who knows when the next fix will come .

sorry i've quoted you so much Sara but so much of what you have said has hit the nail on the head with me! iykwim.

Melanie thanks for the post:thumb_yello:

The film seems interesting and there are good actors !I like Natalie Portman and Orlando Bloom !

I need to see it !

I second that, it does seem like a good film

KERCHIIINGAAA !!!

 

When Rain is released they could use it over here for the Weather forecasts

:roftl: this damn weather is driving me nuts, thats without 3 boys that are fed up with being stuck indoors!

Yep me too & i can't wait

if it is released on 3rd November that is 5 days before my b'day so great timing:roftl: on the other hand everybody say's i'm hard to buy for - i'll probably end up with a few of them

Welcome back Sarah

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR MIKA

:happybday::happybday:

Here's to a fantastic day & have loads of fun!!

so thay have no large pink ones left?

ooo mika, I'm getting you buisness!

well on the site i have from this thread it says xs,s & med

off to try to find some more

Edit: - blue they have sizes xs, s & med

pink they have listed xs, s , med & large !! sorry my mistake

I'm sure they had these t-shirts at the merch stall in Amsterdam as i wanted one but the price was about 25/30 euros which i thought was just too much:blush-anim-cl: so i bought a black canvas bag with the new logo on which was 12euros:thumb_yello:

now i want the pink t-shirt! they look tiny, on the site they had xs,s & medium, i need the large

Thanks! You do, you do .

 

 

And here for whoever is interested (Bienie asked): I uploaded the mp3's of the videos for the gig here in a zip file:
