Re: Free Theatre/Concert Tickets Discussion Thread
Your welcome Caitlin It was lovely too see You again.Glad You and Your Friend had a good time. I was cross that I had waited in the queue since about 3pm . told by organisers / security that our queue would be let in 1st once they had the barriers in place. Then seeing everyone about too be let in from somewhere else. Good job We went too find out. Managed too push our way there. My Daughter and Her 2 mates went and stood by the centre stage at front. They loved it. Me and My Aunt went and stood central too stage but further back in front of cameramen / film crew. So We wasn't pushed or shoved from behind. We were nr the traffic lights. Had an excellent view. But wished I had wore my warmer coat. Got chatting too others in the queue. The 3 in front of Me had travelled up for the day from Bury St Edmonds Norfolk. The 3 in front of them had been in Queue since 8am and the 3 behind had come from Newcastle for the day. Thank You too them for allowing Me too let My Daughter and mates in who had come straight from 6th form. And for letting My Aunt in and also Caitlin and Her Friend. I did warn them that I wasn't on My own and that the rest of My party were arriving soon. Hope I didn't upset too many people further back. Really enjoyed the show.

Re: Free Theatre/Concert Tickets Discussion Thread
We were stood in front of the camera's too, we were under the traffic light, we figured you wouldn't get a great view at the front with the stage being so high,... can't believe I didn't spot anyone!
Preferred Cinema's now Paignton or Exeter!

Hi Prettycool
I was more left hand side of camera crew. I was chatting too a lady it could've been You. Did You have your children with you and they sat on railing /barrier. I was worried they would topple over. Also the lady I was talking too had A Daughter who went and stood on a box / bin too left of lights with Her Dad . Then some Woman got into an argument it upset the little Girl so they came and stood near too Us. I was just wandering if it was You I was chatting too.

Eric And Little Ern was quite funny. (Vaudeville Theatre)
Very cleverly done and Eric was played in a very plausible way (look and sound)
Great to relive the antics of them of long gone days.

A horse walks into a bar and the bartender asks, "Why the long face?"
A pony walks into the bar and whispers, "I'll have a beer, please." The barkeeper asks, "Why are you whispering?".
"I'm a little hoarse."

Re: Free Theatre/Concert Tickets Discussion Thread
I'm seeing it today and will be a hard act to please as I loathed them, as I do all forms of comedy on its own - I prefer it as part of a film or play, etc. Taking a chance, however, as all the Edinburgh reviews were so good, it's not too long, I got a cheap ticket and it filled the post-matinee gap. So I hope to be persuaded...

My mistake, I was on the left of the photographers at the back, rather than the cameramen/film crew. Misread your post! I don't think we were in the same area.

Although, there were people in further front of us with children on their shoulders, we did not have any children with us. We had a very clear space in front of us, where we were bopping and singing, so it was lovely. On the other side of the photographers, on the right, there was a group of girls, and they were singing and dancing all the time.

Re: Free Theatre/Concert Tickets Discussion Thread
Went to Absolute Radio's Christmas Sessions with Kodaline at The Garden Museum. What a lovely place in an old church next to Lambeth Palace.
We were greeted with mulled wine, and then non-stop bowl food with chicken pie and mushrooms, sausage and mash, and couscous, then for dessert mince pies, and beer and wine and more beer and wine.
It was a very Chrismassy event! Kodaline's lead singer came on wearing a Christmas jumper and sang some Christmassy songs. The set was short and sweet. A very nice evening. They will play the recording of the evening on 12 December at 9pm.
