Its fine raj101 if you're a NKOTB fan don't feel like you have to hide it ;)
lol I cant think of a more unlikely band to hit the big time. Some of the boys in it back then were suprisingly ugly, nevermind the music. Maybe that was the appeal.

Isnt there one song that goes 'Uh Uh oh oh oh'. My sister used to sing it in a mocking kind of way.
You even remember the lyrics :roll: You Got It (The right stuff)
Raineylb was quicker than me so you can get practicing your best dance moves (they still do a lot of grabbing their bits when they are dancing) Hope you get tickets :cross:

sometimes things are memorable for being inexorably crap.


And there'll be no grabbing bits in my row, thank you very much lol.

My kids think I have gone mad, I've not been able to get that song out of my head since the Manchester tickets came out, keep find myself singing it it's like being 12 all over again! :giggle:

However, I was really more of a Brosette even had the Grolsch bottle tops for my shoes! :shifty:
Preferred Cinema's now Paignton or Exeter!

NKOTBSB was a great show. No probs with SFF ticket exchange, and actually got great seats 4th row lower tier. Took daughter (who had no idea who they were, but quite enjoyed it) and my friend. We had a blast reminiscing and singing along (although we weren't big fans back in the day). Was great how the boys got interactive with the audience. They've still got the moves! Opening band "Friend in London" weren't bad and played for about 45mins (?), then a short break before the boys came on. Finished about 10:45pm. Can't believe they gave away £50 tickets, as it was packed!

Saw Soul Sister at the Empire Hackney. The venue not that far from where I live so I thought I'd give it a go. I had no problem collecting the ticket and was given a seat in row H of the stalls.

The show was actually better than I had anticipated although the acting wasn't great. I liked the comic strips background. Some people got up and started dancing towards the end of the show.

Don't know if anyone else have been to see the Great Gatsby at Wiltons? Love to see what other people think. I enjoyed it but I think most people will say it's oversimplified and they are probably looking forward to the 7hrs+ version later on in the summer. I think the Great Gatsby is sold out at Wiltons.... 6.5/10

Maybe we were sat near you mancrew, we were row B so only 2 rows below you. We never got there for the opening band as we were at American Reunion so didnt arrive until 8.30pm, just as they were starting I think, but agree it was a great show, we were also surprised they were giving tickets away as it was packed and at how good the seats were, best I have ever had in MEN.

Daughter saw it on Wednesday and thought it was a shambles.
