Just booked my ticket. All the local Premier Inn's are £29 a night at the moment so I booked that too. Be quick, that deal won't last forever!

See you there. :-)

Have fun, you lucky, lucky people! Very Happy

Come on then - what was it like?!?!?

Subject: Re: Belfast gig - 24th August Thu 25 Aug 2011, 15:47

Fantastic gig!
And undoubtedly the best birthday ever!!!
It lashed rain for the first support act but it stopped as soon as they were finished (purely coincidental I'm sure Suspect

).
The sun came out for Villagers (who were fab) and so we were nicely dried out by the time the boys came on.
Guy was in fantastic form; really giddy and happy and of course the boys were on fire!
When they did the little 'huddle' before Weather to Fly, Guy talked about how it was the band's 20th anniversary and started singing Happy Birthday.
The crowd all joined in and during this Jupp, Mark and Pete all raised their glasses to me! Gaaaah!!! Thought I was gonna pass out!
Sorry, rest of gig a little hazy! Embarassed

But looky what I was given:

A signed set-list and a birthday card from the band and some of the crew!!!

Yikes!! Brilliant!!

Subject: Re: Belfast gig - 24th August Thu 25 Aug 2011, 19:50

Wow Joanie, that's just wonderful...lucky you and a belated Happy Birthday from me!

Party!

It was a great night. Superb setting and a top performance from the boys.

Epic fail on my part. I went to bed just before 12. Some forum members stayed out, met the band and got themselves into the Malmaison hotel where they had a few beers and played pool with elbow until the early hours.

It was a fantastic day alround nice to have met you Steve and Tanny. Plus a big thank you to Messers Jupp and Potter (M) and Lisa and all the crew we had a great evening.

Great to meet you 2 Steve - the gig was great again - faultless performance and a good crowd.

Yeah, my 2 mates 'had the time of their lives' in the Malmaison, where as I overdid things on the liquid's, and had a major financial tantrum, and got a cab back from outside the Malmaison.

What a fool I am. The stick I received yesterday was plentiful !

Sounds like an excellent night all round folks and Jones what a lucky lady!

Subject: Re: Belfast gig - 24th August Mon 29 Aug 2011, 11:11

Thanks Hesh!
And Lynne: yes that whole evening is one happy, rosey blur!

Subject: Re: Belfast gig - 24th August Mon 29 Aug 2011, 14:35

Fantastic Joanie!! And what luck with the rest of you getting to play pool with the lads until the early hours. Very Happy

Bumping into Guy. Very Happy

Rest of the band/crew not with him?

Subject: Re: Belfast gig - 24th August Tue 30 Aug 2011, 18:44

Great vid, Queen Ali! Thanks for posting!
Desperately trying to find the bit when the band go over to 'Craig's Place' for Weather To Fly.
There's one video on YouTube but it doesn't show the Happy Birthday bit... Sad

Anyway, I believe the band were on and off their plane as well due to technical difficulties! (The plane, not the band...) Suspect

Something obviously didn't agree with aeroplanes in Belfast that day!
It was a great gig, wasn't it? And I sure did have the time of my life!!! I love you

btw does anyone have video of the guys coming on stage at the start by any chance???
