Well what a crazy 20+ hours I've just had!

I left my house at 7am to catch the boat and we got to SBE about 11.30, and had our hands numbered so there was no mistaking where people were in the queue( I was the 23rd person there!). Met LOADS of people, it was great to meet Janie and Laurie

Darren arrived about 3pm and we just caught a glimpse of him as he went inside closely followed by Troy.

After much pushing and shoving in the queue and the staff at SBE not giving a stuff about doing their jobs properly they finalluy opened the doors at just gone 7 and we made a mad dash inside and was a couple of rows behind the VIP's.

The Honeymoon were ok-ish IMO, the first couple of songs seemed good but them the rest sounded all the same. Then at 9pm out came DARREN!!! Boy did he look good or what! He started with Void then onto Darkness, and can't remember the order of the rest of them, but there was ALOT of SG stuff including a fantastic rendition of BMSM, he also sang Hold Me,IWY, C&B ( with the help of an audience member!), as well as loads off TTATS, Dublin Sky, I like the Way,Popular, I Forgive You and he sung Unloveable followed by TBAACM, which reduced me to tears, I was stood there like a blubbering wreck! I can;t remember all the songs he sang as it went by SO quickly.

The stage was VERY interesting, lots of stuff projected onto a white screen behind him, a couple of TV screens with various images on them, it was very different but very intriguing. The costume change was good! You could see him getting changed behind the screen, which created more than a few squeals!!

It all went by way too quickly, and afterwards went and bought a t shirt and a tour prog type thingy , it's more like a set of postcards with stuff written on the back. Then went outside to say goodbye to everyone and had to dash to get the boat home or I'd have been swimming the solent! I finally got in at 2.30am, I can barely feel my legs, my feet are throbbing, I've had about 2 hours sleep in the last 36 but can't wait to do it all again next Wednesday!
