A plea to audiences

[Paula]

At the Saturday Irish concert we sat in front of a bloke who insisted on singing all the songs, out of tune, and always either one verse ahead or behind. We were gonna ask for his authograph at the end

And a bloke who was also behind who kept calling out something in Gaelic. I thought he was shouting out asking for Leonard to sing "There's a War" but it wasn't it was something in Irish which was meant to be complimentory.

We also had a woman with a crutch who kept going backwards and forwards along the row, which was packed, disrupting everyone, thrusting her chest out at the men and trying to engage people in conversation. When she left at the end we couldn't help noticing she did not need her crutch anymore. It was a bloody miracle!!!

Hi Rhona
At last, someone with a brain, i agree with what you say,someone threatened to slap another person if he whistled but that did not materialise because i sat behind that person.
But the concert was absolutley brilliant and even the rain made it enjoyable, after we went to the grapes and had a realy good drink.

There's singing with joy and there's pure bollocksology.
They differ.

Me and John (i'm mal) are going to the Edinburgh concert, and I'm gettin very excited.
I'm no teenager,and hope I don't disgrace myself, but I've never seen Lenny live,so don't know if I will be on best behaviour or not.Also, 3 hours is a bit long to sit without a..break(no, I don't have a weak bladder!)I just hope I don't "sing alongalenny" cos my singing is truely bad.
Anyway, I hope everyone enjoys themselves, as the castle is going to be the most awesome setting I have ever been to.
Have to say, I stumbled on this site a couple days ago, and can't seem to do anything else but trawl through it. I've even ordered a cd(a feast of lenny) from here, and am looking forward to hearing it.Gotta go, theres more to trawl through

I've already said that I am delighted at myself to screwing it up when I tried to get tickets for the O2 gig in July and opted to try and get them for Manchester!

I'm even more glad that I did and now, having read this particular thread, I would like to say a very heartfelt THANK YOU to all of you who were there on Wednesday 19 June at the Manchester Opera House enjoying LC with me!

The audience were impeccable (at least they were in Row N of the Circle), the flash cameras weren't intrusive nor was there anyone singing out of tune or even in tune - well at least not so as to spoil my evening.

Lucky lucky us!

WE WERE THERE!!!

PS: It is not in my nature to be smug (OED: smug - • adjective (smugger, smuggest) irritatingly pleased with oneself; self-satisfied) but I am on this occasion
