Not really sure if this counts as a gig but as there was music and I was there, that’s good enough for me. I was lucky enough to get a spare ticket to the early evening session of Children in Need just the day before and it was very exciting to be in the same room as Sir Terry Wogan – the man is a living legend!!
Anyway, in terms of music there was actually quite a lot on offer. We had a quite turn from JLS who seemed to be singing live and seemed pretty good – the audience went a bit wild for them too. Actually, the audience probably went the most wild for John Barrowman singing and dancing around in his underwear, which was a bit more up my street too. The man can certainly sing and there’s not many guys that can jump around wearing only children in need boxers and songs without looking extremely unsexy, but he managed to pull it off. Westlife also performed and fair play to them, they can certainly sing live as well.
Taylor Swift sang Love Story, which sounded great, she has a fantastic voice. I have to say though that she is one of the thinnest people I have ever seen perform – I don’t know where she keeps her lungs, I can only assume that they are connected via see through tubes and kept somewhere back stage because there certainly isn’t enough space in her torso for them.
The newsreaders were up next, who sang a medley including Put A Ring On It, and were joined on stage by Britain’s Got Talent winners Diversity. The newsreaders aren’t the best singers in the world it has to be said, but they sounded better in the studio than they did on the TV when I watched it back. Well done to them!
Unfortunately we were shuffled out when the news came on which was a shame as there were lots more bands to come, but watching it back it looks like most of them weren’t actually in the studio in London but joining from other concerts across the UK, so we didn’t do too badly. And they raised £20m for charity so I can’t really complain!
