WILL Young will be performing a sold out show at the Villa Marina, Douglas, tonight (Friday).

 

The singer has sold more than eight million records and his singles include Leave Right Now, Who Am I and Changes.

 

Brought to the Island by Big Small Fish, Will shot to fame after winning ITV's Pop Idol eight years ago.

 

His greatest hits album, The Hits, was released in November last year and has reached platinum sales.

 

 

Text from MaryW -

 

'Will and Faye on board - looks like a film star and dazzling smile, sun glasses and outfit that he wore for the M&G' . (I think that was a bright blue shirt and black tight trousers but Spider will put me right).

Ooh.. on the same plane.. :o i dont know if i could quite cope with that. :lol: looking forward to the news..

Any idea of the size of tonights gig TT?

Think it's quite an intimate gig Bev. Found this in an earlier thread on Devoted.

 

Visiting the Villa Marina

 

The Gardens are open to the public all year round. In the summer outside concerts are held on the grounds. The Villa Marina main complex was rebuilt and opened to the public again in April 2004. A range of facilities are available in the new complex, as well as the Royal Hall for concerts. Check listings for events held there.

 

Royal Hall

With sound, stage and lighting technology, this 1500 seat venue is perfect for concerts, shows and events. There is a spacious dance floor. So an intimate venue for those able to attend.

 

Seating plan can be downloaded from this site: http://www.gov.im/villagaiety/seating.xml

 

Thanks TT...So 1500 seating and standing on the dance floor? ..looking at the seating plan from the link you posted, i wouldn't like one of those tiered stalls to the side..they seem to be a neck sprain waiting to happen :lol:

He's doing all new places this time isn't he? apart from Kenwood i think.. :D

Thanks munchkin, what a lovely venue for the gig tonight. :D

Thanks Chris..it looks like a gorgeous venue.. :D

They are having a late start - the lorry driver went to the wrong port and missed the ferry. As a result Will was late with his soundcheck and they haven't started yet. Mary has tweeted she has never been so close "Right under the microphone".

Thanks to Rosie D.

Thanks TT...good review...he is an unrivaled Star when it comes to singing and performing..no one can touch him. :heart: :cheer:

shame the venue didn't mention to the crowd why there was a delay though. :huh:

This is from the gig...the person who hosted it was Hels from the O/S, it's the wrong way round..but I've posted it anyway so you can hear the incredible reception Will got :wub: ..how fantastic is that? :cheer: loving the light up suit. :lol:

Editing to add the name of the youtube poster..who i just spotted on the O/S :D

Here's a great quality vid of You Don't Know. Thanks to Abbie.

 

 

I'm really not keen on this track on the cd but a live performance is really touching.

 

Really pleased with myself after all this time I've worked out how to put video clips on my ipod. :D :dance:
