I so hope this isn't all true

Brendan on Live from Studio Five,Ch 5, at 6.25pm,talking about his show so the ad just said...

Hi Saggy found you lurking, havent heard from you for ages.

I noticed the Brendan bit as well, might be interesting.

I lost a lot of interest in the programme this season because of the whole Chris Hollins thing I'll lose even more if Brendan leaves

Just had an email saying the 30th May London date has been cancelled due to technical difficulties - gutted it was my birthday treat to myself

Am so excited - have just booked tickets to see the show. It sounds great can't wait

I am gutted too - especially as I didn't find out until 22nd as I was away from home until then.

Don't normally post on here, but checking up on the show I found this forum.
Guess what - I've just won tickets for 2 to see this show in Edinburgh on the 6th June!! Can hardly believe it and have already arranged travel and a meal!

Congratulations Daxley!

Sure you will enjoy the show as it is FAB U LOUS! May see you there - I am in the front row in Edinburgh - I will be the one screaming loudest!

i have just got back from seeing the show it was amazing, and i go to meet all the dancers after i was an awsome night

Have no idea why, but I read the title of this thread as Brendan live and UNHINGED!!!! and thought, what has he been up to now?

His show definitely one of the best of the shows featuring the strictly pros. I saw Anton & Erin's show a couple of years back - they used all amateur dancers and I have to say they danced a darn site better than A&E!!

I really hope Brendan is back on the show this year - strictly will be dull without him!

Actually most if not all of the dancers that Anton & Erin used on their show were (and are) professional dancers albeit not as famous as A&E. One of them teaches dance locally near me and I'd seen a couple of them on the long running
Strictly Ballroom (?) tour.

I've finally got a ticket to see Brendan's show in Oxford on Friday and having seen both A&E's show and Darren & Lilia's, I'm looking forward to this one.

A&E's first show - not the one they are doing now - used amateur dancers

Oh OK. I thought you meant the one they did last year. I didn't know they did one before that.

No, the one I saw was a good few years ago. A&E finished with a Viennese waltz which was frankly well below standard.

I'm going to the Sage at Gateshead tonight Very excited to see it again!

I have posted in Brendan's thread in the appreciation section.. but the show was FABULOUS AGAIN!

My personal favourites I think are "Purple Rain" which is a rumba where Brendan has two female partners..

and

the Viennese Waltz which is stunning with beautiful pink lights to match Isabella's pink dress.

The whole show is so warm, full of enthusiasm, spectacular dancing and wonderful live music. Nothing beats Ballroom with a live Swing Band!

Awesome combination that makes a truly incredible show!

I loved the Purple Rain number the first twice I saw it (does that make sense?) But on Monday night in Glasgow's Royal Concert Hall, a very modern theatre, they had nowhere to hang the curtain which allows the Silhouette to show up and it kind of lost its magic.

I am sure Leeds Grand will be back to normal as it sounds old school. Just have to find someone who is available to travel down on Wednesday and back on Thursday as everyone I know up here seems to be working! Four hours drive down in the car is nothing if Brendan is at the end of it! Anyone else going to Leeds as I may end up going solo?

I didn't notice a silhouette on a curtain at either the Sage or Newcastle City Hall. They were both concert halls so maybe they had nowhere either. Either way... I lovvvvvvvvvvvvved the Purple Rain number. I'm still on a high from Tuesday night. Would so love to come to Leeds on Wednesday but really can't miss work again Trust me... I'm considering it!

I am at the moment trying to sort things out for Wednesday and discovering it is much cheaper to drive, flights nearly £400, trains about same as petrol but take 30mins longer???? And would have to take night off work too!!! Still not given up hope..................

Saw the show in Dublin last night. It was fantastic! Brendan was really interactive with the audience, and was well able to deal with any jokes the audience shouted up. What struck me most about the dancing was how good Nicole Cutler was. I never noticed it on tv before. We got to see all the dancers at the stage door afterwards. We spoke to Nicole briefly - she seems super shy, but was probably exhausted after the tour. The three female dancers are all tiny up close.

I was at the dublin show too. I thought Nicole was outstanding, Strictly messed up big time when they got rid of her. I loved Brendans brother Scott, he was adorable. Strictly should have snapped him up as one of the new dancers, the public would love him.

Going to see the show tonight in Belfast

Hopefully it will remain me of all the things I like about strictly after this week

Did you have a good time?


I also was impressed with Nicole's dancing. I don't think it showed on Strictly. She really was outstanding in the show.

Last show in Leeds tomorrow.. wish I could go!

Wish I could go too! Have decided not to go because no friends could get time off work and I don't feel up to driving that far on my own tomorrow! It would take over 4 hours and as I have some health issues it wouldn't be clever.

I also have a serious crick in my neck from last night at the Strictly Pro's in Edinburgh. Had to stretch up to see the footwork on stage! Off to take some more pain killers and cry into my pillow that I won't make the final night! There is always next time?
