Great Gigs I've seen
I'm going to totally re-vamp this page over the coming weeks and I will be telling you about some of the great gigs I've been to and hopefully adding lots of piccies too!!! Just have to start sorting through my old concert tickets stubs to get the old memory working!!!
I couldn't possibly begin listing all the musicals, plays, stand-up comedy shows and panto's etc I've been to, there have been far too many.
Also the list below doesn't include the Support Acts that were on, a lot of which are big names in themselves. I may try to add the support acts I've seen if I can remember which gigs I saw them at!!!!

Carling Academy, Islington
Tuesday 12 December 2006
Me and Alan at the Carling Academy, Islington
I went to see the wonderful Alan Fletcher aka Dr Karl Kennedy do at gig in Islington last night and it was one of the best nights out ever. He brought the house down with his own material and also a number of rock classics, Summer of 69, Living on a Prayer, Tainted Love, to name but a few with an amazing finale of I Predict A Riot!
The crowd were going wild. And the amazing guy that Alan is, he stopped to sign autographs for everyone who wanted one after the show. I went to see him after the show as I've been in contact with him for a number of years and I got a big hug and kiss when he saw me and just to be dead cool I asked him (in rock style fashion) to sign my arm!!!! Cool man!
My claim to Alan fame is that I was the first ever 'Fan of the Month' on his official website www.alanfletcher.net and if you go to the site by clicking on his name at the top of this page you'll see me on the Homepage pictured with Alan a few years back just above the link to the Messageboard!!! Take a look!!!
Just have to say that I saw the fantasic radio and tv presenter Iain Lee at the show and he recognised me from being one of his MySpace buddies and he said hello!!! Thanks Iain. You and Alan are both Legends. I had a fab night!!!!
My signed arm by the Legend that is Fletch!!!

The infamous Susan song..........play

What Alan said about me on his site when I was 1st Fan of the Month!!!!!!
''How fitting that one of my most dedicated fans lives in the town where I performed in Jack and the Beanstalk last year. It was terrific to finally meet Rachel after years of receiving her entertaining and flattering letters. She saw the show twice and caught up for a photo opportunity. Cheers Rachel. Thanks for the support.''
