Great article, really interesting. Thanks for posting. The description of him also made me smile

Agree with you there, another one of those with a child so cannot drop everything. My poor hubby was fab for Sadler's Wells and Blackpool, I couldn't have done either without him. Just need to hang on for the tour and then hubby gets to see him too (he is also a fan, just not as fanatical as me !!) Can I join the party online ?

Great to hear he is a massive Brian Wilson fan too ! Very lucky to have seen Brian on tour a few times and so I'm a big fan too. Good taste as always Meeks !

OOOOOOOooooh tempting. That's actually my birthday - how cool would that be ? I'm at a class on a Wednesday night, I hope that isn't an exam week.... goes off to check..... What to do........

Sounds like you all had a blast ! What an amazing man he is Glad you all enjoyed it. I'm on hols in the Lakes, so couldn't make London in any way. Jealous, a bit, happy for you all - yep !

Sariflor, I love you. You nearly made me cry. I was so hoping that someone, somewhere got my gift giving on camera - and you did !! Can't see his face but can just hear him commenting on how much he likes it. Brilliant !!!!!!

Great photo's Mikafish, I look well dodgy walking away from the flag - what WAS I doing ? No idea you'd taken it !

Why's that Ruth ? I don't know what I'm doing posting photo's online (as you could probably tell earlier ), is it because its a shared private album or something ? Do I need to do something else with them so you can have copies (I don't mind at all) ?

Thanks for posting the group photo Andi. Thrilled to see I'm actually on that one. I was at the back and I'm 5 3. I was standing on tiptoes but I didn't think you would be able to see me. I was just happy knowing I was there. So chuffed to see that

One smart lady Christine. My 2nd Mika gig (Sadler's Wells was my first), but my first proper MFC gig experience and it was AWESOME !!!!

Thanks for your kind words Vicky I too noticed that Kate had glitter on and seemed excited about Mika, but I'd forgotten until you mentioned it. Excellent report

Can you see all the photo's via my link then ?

I put them on photobox and then paste the link into "please enter the URL of your image" on here and then I just get a blue question mark

Oh no its getting worse now.... sorry people Is it coz I'm on a mac ?

Ok, these are of the MFC first - I'll do one to make sure they are right..... http://www.photobox.co.uk/my/photo?album_id=184197140&photo_id=1910499471 Sorry can someone talk me through how to post on here. I have NO idea what I'm doing !!!

Lovely to meet you too Julie (we chatted quite a bit didn't we ?) I had some photo's which are OK of Will. PM me your email address and I'll send them. I'm already sending to a lady who was stood next to me at the barrier who was also a fan and said she had a rubbish camera !

Ok finally my report (and then off for a sleep I'm shattered !!) I went to check out the venue, queuing etc around 11ish and bumped into Mikafish there. I also met Julie, the Will Young fan who posted on the forum here, a few days ago. She was one determined lady and was first in the queue from 11AM and stayed there ! I went home for some lunch and got back around 2ish and there were around 20 people there. I met the lovely Mikalove=), a lovely chatty girl and also Sariflor and friends came and sat behind me. Great to chat to you Sariflor There were only 20 or 30 of us in the queue for some time and we decided perhaps we didn't need to queue so early, but we were there by then !! I also met Rose-RAK1 (and the trusty MFC flag, which I duely signed), Vixenbbw, Blue Eyes, Jester Kevin, Sarah_lollipop, Abby, Kath, Sparkly1, Babspanky, kt4mika, hotdlp, bexxy & dominic, violetsky and apologies if I've forgotten any others. You were all really lovely and welcoming and made queuing such a great experience. It seemed to go quite fast really. As other said we got inside around 7.15 and all ran for the stage that looked the biggest (mikalove spotted the glitter and mika's balls - lol, so we knew we were in the right place !). I asked a security guard for the running order - Pixie Lott, Newton Faulkner, Will Young, Daniel Merriweather and Mika and the message was passed along via mikalove to everyone else. I was to the right of the stage directly infront of the speaker and could feel the base in my chest when they ramped it up. I wasn't moving though. First and only time at the barrier for a gig and I was going to make the most of it ! I had a really good view and Mika's piano was quite near. I got photo's but most of them are a bit blurred as I switched off the flash, they were too grainy with it. I will post what/when I can. He was in such party mood and came out with the attitude of lets get everyone joining in, singing, dancing and having fun. Other's have commented on the songs (Faith was excellent). Odd snatches I remember are him saying are "I know this wooden floor is sprung - lets bounce !!", motioning for a gold bowler hat to wear for WAG and waffling about feeling pregnant ! I came out exhausted and on a high. I gave him this necklace http://www.punkypins.co.uk/handmade-jewellery-c1/personalised-necklaces-c6/personalised-mixtape-cassette-name-necklace-p183 with Mika personalised (other MFCers saw me wearing it in the day) and explained about the WAG reference with the cassette and he said something like "Cool, I like that Thankyou". I then asked for a photo with it and him (to prove that just happened mostly) and followed him asking 3 times until finally he gave in, checked I wasn't endorsing a website and then posed with it (Thanks kt4mika and also mikafish who tried earlier with my camera !). I felt soooo guilty for keep asking but knew this moment was unlikely to ever happen again so I should go for it. Does anyone else remember the necklace thing ? What he said to me ? Did you catch a photo/video at the time ? Its all a bit blurry now.... I SOOOOOO hope I didn't upset him. At the M&G I was struck at how relaxed it was and even for the group photo with people packed around him, he didn't seem particularly worried about dodgy fans or anything. I love how he keeps saying he has to go and then gets drawn back into coversation, autographs, photo's etc I think its coz he is so nice and he likes it really ! Then it was all over Phew, sorry about such a long post !!!! A day to remember !

Its a kind of lightweight raincoat

Great report. Good to meet you I heard the start of that conversation, but not the end, I was straining to hear. How sweet though.

Not sure about the bum pinching ! We were all too polite for that

I was right next to Mikafish and Mika when she said she must pass on a message that you had given your tickets up and couldn't be there and he was very gracious and listened to her. I think he said something about that being very nice of you (foggy brain from over excitement !)

kt4mika has it not me - I don't think she can post it on the MFC tho, she was gonna add me on facebook and post it there. I will try and work out how to get it !
