Sharon: Hi Well what can I say about Plymouth apart from FANTASTIC. We started the evening by meeting up with Diane and Andrew Perry, Malcolm, Linda, Katie and their friend Pam for a drink. It was great to see everyone, as the last time we met up was at the Plymouth concert 2 years ago. Great way to start the night and I really did need a drink to calm the old nerves. As something rather special had been arranged for me. A meeting with Chris before the concert started! We were taken back stage about 40 minutes along with some other meeters and greeters before the show started. Chris came through looking very relaxed dressed all in black. I have to admit I did go a bit weak at the knees when he spoke to me, took loads of photos including some of him with me and Keith. I have been a fan since 1987 and this was the first time I had met him and I have always wanted to meet him. It made my night, and I still can't believe it happened. It made a lovely early 40th birthday pressie. Thank you to my "guardian angel" for arranging it. As you can imagine by the time we took our seats, I was "high on emotion". Good news that there not many empty seats. I have to admit I was not sure about it being a solo show, as I have always seen Chris with a band. I was not disappointed, Chris was superb, how many other artists of his age, can do a show of over 2 hours on his own with no break? It just shows what a talented guy he is. Highlights for me? The Same Sun (one of my top 3 songs) Rose of England (wow) The Journey, Read my name, Last Night, Borderline, Snow is falling, The words I love you, spaceman, Ferryman, high on emotion. Living on the island, this is special song for me and Keith, as we have a dream that one day we will go and live in Greece, I know this song was inspired by Greece. I just listened to it and was transported to a favourite taverna over looking the harbour in the beautiful village that we love. The "Britney" bit was brillant, one lucky lady just across the aisle got a kiss. I think people very very surprised when he did the "Britney" and they were very pleased. I got up and danced at the end, it does help having a seat on the end of the aisle, felt like a teenager again, just dancing and singing, having a good time. All too soon he sang "Snows of New York" and the evening came to a close, but he had more surprise, Chris got off the stage and came amongst the audience again, just for a few moments, Chris Andrews did look worried. We had a great time, look forward to seeing Chris again, hopefully back in Plymouth, He did go down so well. Hope you have enjoyed my review, only the second I have written. Bye Sharon |
