Oh What a night !!!

Well, if you weren't there you really missed something.. If you were there you know what I mean. It was the New Seekers performing in a pub, but no ordinary pub, it was the Boogaloo in London. They had support from Mundy who was pretty cool and great guitarist. Also, on the bill was the brilliant V V Brown, she is fantastic. We did a quick shoot with VV and Mick Flin and Paul Layton from New Seekers and Adam Ficek from Babyshambles who was also there watching. We were just about to do a normal boring shot when I saw the bath in the bathroom upstairs. I said to VV how about getting in the bath, she said yes, no problem, I will do that. She was then swiftly followed by Adam Ficek, Mick Flin and Paul Layton.

It made a better shot than the usual. Sadly we only had a bout 30 seconds to do the shoot. But, I am glad we did.

VV Brown was fantastic, she writes amazing songs and is a brilliant performer. I was talking to PR Guru Paul Carey at the gig. He was very impressed with both VV Brown and The New Seekers. He said VV Brown is the real deal and move over Amy Winehouse. I have to agree with him she is special.. He also thinks that the New Seekers are going to be enormous once again. Well, couldn't agree more.

The New Seekers went on at about 10:30 and guess what, they were brilliant. Seeing them in a small venue like that was pretty rare. The crowd loved them and really went mad and were dancing and singing along. Towards the end Mick's voice had gone. He had been suffering all day, although, he still sounded great. Anyway, they had finished with 'Teach the world to sing' but the crowd wanted more..

Mick seemed to be in trouble with his voice, so, he said lets do that again and he asked the audience to sing it for him. Well, funnily enough, I had got the lyrics to the song of the Internet earlier and said to Mick I was going to bring a few copies, as VV Brown and other celebs were going to join them at the end. So, I grabbed the lyrics and handed out around 30 copies to the audience and they sung so loud they nearly blew the roof off.

It was one, if not the best gig Ii have seen at the Boogaloo and I have seen some great ones there.. It was brilliant. The New Seekers have almost completed their first album in 30 years and I cannot wait until its released and out there. It is going to be massive.. Don't just take my word for it, they are In London at the Shaw Theatre on 31st January 2009 check them out at
