Craig Chalmers Appreciation Thread

I dont think Lewis was very happy with all the crowds at the backstage .. well lets put it this way i dont think i saw him smile once ! And i believe that once Rob saw the crowds at the backstage i gather he went for another exit along with Johndeep .
Emma and i are hoping to see Craig again on the 14th April ... but it all depends on Emma's new job as she fly's out sometime in April ... so she and i both have finger's , legs and toes all crossed !

Hmm big mistake guys. Look how a little generosity has helped to build Craig's loyal army of supporters...
Hi Stashy
What a lovely review! You have a gift for putting things into words Thank you!
I can hardly believe it all happened a week ago, yet I can identify with Trixie who said how difficult it was to remember everything in detail. Every review I read helps loads though, as we all have our own bits we hold onto more clearly.
And I love Dreamworld, its perfect!! Enjoy every moment you spend there xxx

It's not really lying if you just don't tell them is it?
No-one but no-one except you threadgoers knew where I was on Sunday night!!

my feelings exactly
Fantastic review Stashy 
Feel I must stick up for poor Lewis here, he was being mobbed by screaming teenagers, and a guy from the Palladium was forcing everyone back, and pulling Lewis through, think he was unhappy about how he was being treated, not with the fans. He was lovely when he signed for me, and again at the after show party

That's good to know, all I knew was that he disappeared very fast... over-zealous minder no doubt!

He's extraordinary, I could not believe how unfazed he was on Sunday night by the most enormous sea of people. He didn't leave until every single person was happy!
Well, I've got 2 photos with Lewis smiling backstage so obviously it was a good move to be a bit further out. Once he had gone past me there was a huge surge of people coming out from the gates which was good news for me as I could then get in to speak to Craig. It's a shame if they can't all enjoy their backstage moments in an unthreatening way.
Thanks Stashy, I loved your review. and everyone else who keeps adding other snippets that they remember.
Itslmo, congratulations on the new job! how dare they interrupt your posting time - do they not realise its a vital part of your job!

I'm listening to Dream On in the car, have been ever since it arrived!
Just wanted to say how my favourite songs ebb and flow. At the moment it's the songs from Joseph that I'm really loving!
Hearing Craig sing those first lines from Any Dream Will Do just sends shivers down my spine....taking me back to the moment when the curtain rises and there is Craig with his back to us. Oh, the glorious anticipation!

Hi Trixie!! *waves* Yes, will be back there soon...not soon enough perhaps, but still soon! I need to earn more wads of cash to keep paying twice yearly trips to the UK
hehe not to mention other short trips I take during the year. Its a good thing I had this one booked before they put me on this project otherwise they might have not let me go! I wish they had filled the Palladium concert too
Oh well, we get lovely reviews such as the one written by Stashy!! Well done Stashy! Just makes me wish I was there even more!

I know....sheesh....you'd think they think that they pay me to actually work or something! What are they thinking!
Might only get worse when we move out to site...I'm going to have to do some stealth posting somehow! I do have my priorities after all *nods*

Work is an interruption...too bad its a necessary evil eh
Oh how I wish I was somehow independently wealthy....
I'd be lost without "Alt & tab" when I'm at work, my friend doesn't know how I change screens so quick. I have DS shaped to the exact size of my work screen and it fits nicely behind it!

Hi Tracie,
That's the three I didn't see at the Stage Door either. I did see them later though.
It was quite a crowd and I do remember how strange it was to be talking to Dotty or Trixie one moment and the next turn round and be standing beside Seamus and Chris C. I'm sure some people didn't realise it was them!
