"Because it's week 3 it's a 9"
"Because it's week 9 it's a 10"

🙄
I know, right? It's called "SCD judges' logic".

Morning!

I imagine that J will be in the recording studio this week.

There were several photos of cast members recording their Big songs on Twitter yesterday, and the Plymkids were very excited to be travelling up from Plymouth by the looks of it. What an experience for them!

Edit: J posted a little while ago that he is on Uncle duties, and calls it his highlight of the week.💕😍

Great pic, lovely family.

Just read about poor Gorka - not very nice at all.

Happy MonJAY all 🙌 -off now to read back all the reports from Edinburgh that have been posted so far and to write up my own.✍🏻️
Felt appropriate last night to finish off my wonderful Scottish week-end experience cheering on Andy Murray last night - fab-U-lous 🎾🏆win - I know OT but there was that tenuous Scottish link

Really enjoyed reading about your adventures Celloplayer, including the stowaway milk!

Also really looking forward to seeing your recordings, Jayfan, especially the rumba - that will be really special, I'm sure.

I see the Plymkids are doing the recording - they had such a good reception in Plymouith.

Aw lovely picture. Nice for him to have time to relax with his family.💕

Loved your review celloplayer thanks for sharing

Shocked to hear this morning about the attack on Gorka. Don't get why someone would do such a thing

No idea how to post from an Insta Story but Jay has posted pic of himself in a car, with his scarf and beanie both firmly in place, with the caption "cold" then a pic of a hairyplane in the rain with a smiley face - wonder where he is off to - if it was me, somewhere warm and without any rain

Celloplayer - milk, just - sorry, I've had shampoo and sun cream leak over everything in a case before but milk, you have to spill the beans as to why you had milk

Maybe he is heading off to Dublin to start rehearsals with a new batch of kids for the show and to settle into the new theatre?

ETA - do you have to be signed up to instagram to see instagram stories?

Yes, just download the app on your phone and follow birdspotting to see Jay's stories. It works a bit like snapchat, so you can post just a picture or a short video - try it.

He might have the week off and heading somewhere warmer - might help his cold if he is - his previous post in the car referred to it being COLD
Anyway where ever hope he enjoys

Agreed Polly Hope he has some relaxation time and enjoys himself, wherever in the world that is. Once Big starts its run in Dublin he will have very little free time to relax-bless him!

Morning, everyone!
Quite busy at work today because of last week's Holidays, but just wanted to say that Jay's instagram stories are/will be posted on MD

Can someone fill me in about what's going on with Gorka? I read something about an attack?

Some local louts decided to randomly punch him in the face and broke 2 of his teeth

News article for you:

Awful, isn't it?

He seems like such a lovely, inoffensive person.

Perhaps that's why he's recently become Mr Jay "two scarves" McGuiness!!

Looking after the throat while the voice is still husky.



Cropping your post Dfer.

Great choice for a show. You will love it - I did!

A poignant strory, great dancing and who knew Vincent was such a talented actor?

Watch out for their final dance together - just amazing!

Do please post your thoughts when you have a bit of time.
Hi Red had a really wonderful time at Last a Tango. Just like you I loved it too.
Put my thoughts in a spoiler just in case someone is going to see it before the run end in two weeks

Hi everyone, long time no posts, but here's my quick review of Saturday night's Keep Dancing

Arrived in Edinburgh at 1 .40, on a ridiculously packed train full of kilted rugby fans going to the Murrayfield game. All reserved seats were disregarded, just a grab a seat where you could situation. Boarded at Aberdeen so was ok, but anyone getting on further down the line found their reserved seats occupied and having to stand in a crush. And no toilets were working ! Lots of disgruntled passengers.

Headed to the Playhouse and was surprised to see Aliona, Vin and Jay going in through the main entrance doors ahead of me. It was 7.10pm, but they don't go on stage until well after curtain up. Aliona was in her winter coat and cream bobble hat, and Jay in jumper and scarves. Vin and Aliona shared a kiss, and then she and Jay headed off leaving Vin in the foyer. Nobody approached them - don't think people recognised them ! Had a sneaky look at Vin - he was just standing around by himself. Looked older than in his photographs, but maybe he's been having a few late nights this week drinking with Jay and perhaps it showed in his face

Jay and Aliona danced just beautifully together. Very tender hand and head kisses in the VW, and the Rumba was as lovely as always. The Q & A session drew lots of laughs - Jay sang a bit of The Proclaimers ' 500 miles ', and bantered with audience members. Asked to describe their Strictly in one word, Jay said ' perfect ' and Aliona said ' winner '. Jay said it was the last time he and Aliona would dance together, so asked the lady singer to take that picture of them on stage with the audience behind, as a memento for them. It's turned out perfectly, and I'm so glad I got to see them for real after waiting for so long


Review
Spoiler


No appearance at the stage door by Jay and Aliona sadly, but we did see Robin and the dancers. Robin chatted for ages and posed happily for photos, hiding his fag behind him ! He said the Edinburgh audiences had been wonderful, and he loved the city and could happily live in it. He said the show is having a long break, and will re-open in Birmingham next year. If anyone is still thinking of going - even without Jaliona you will enjoy it. It was worth every penny it cost to travel and stay overnight to see it

Got to see Jay and Aliona at last! Saw the show Saturday night and they were wonderful. The rumba brought tears to my eyes.Met Jayfan, Speedy nd Jelly and I'm so happy to put some faces to names.
Jayfan, your posts re Edinburgh have been fantastic, you hit the nail right on the head with your observations.Didn't realise you were staying in the same hotel as me but I didn't go to the bar so I missed you.
I literally bumped int Jay in a cafe in the town. I was going in as he was coming out.! What a lovely young man. Had a nice chat and a photo. I asked him about Big and he said he loves it but its hard.
My fingers are well and truly crossed for Jay to go to the West Wnd with Big as that will be my only chance to see it.

Lovely review Jackybob - Sorry to have missed you when I was over there but delighted you got to meet with Jay on Saturday
Great review SeasideLady too - Glad you enjoyed KD and Jalionas 'SwanSong'
Feeling guilty - you and others attended KD on Sat and have been efficient in posting your reviews and I still have mine to do...I will!
Read and loved all the reviews posted, so far, this morning (Jayfan, Celloplayer, JellyL, Nelliek) - felt I was reliving a lot of a wonderful weekend experience - Thanks to all
