August 20, 201014 yr That settles it..........I shan't be going. Looking forward to seeing his performance on their site.
August 21, 201014 yr Takes the pressure off me though, PHEW!!!!! I'll still try and get some pics and vid, but can probably relax and enjoy the show a lot more now knowing D's performance will be shown elsewhere :) I've discovered tickets are like busses as I've received Sue's and my own, both in this morning's post :rolleyes: Big thanks to you though Sue much appreciated :)

August 29, 201014 yr Copied from the interchange thread :) No videos from Crewe unfortunately Nina, as wih the heavy showers, I couldn't risk my neice's camera getting damaged, as she's away on safari in a few days. There was a professional crew filming though, and the picture and sound quality will be far superior to anything I could have managed. Just a case of waiting for them to feature it online. I did manage to snap a couple of pictures though, around 600 :D I think I got some nice shots too :) Report first pics to follow. Had a bit of trouble fiding the venue. Satnav got me close, but with no signage I took a wrong turn and spent a very frustrating 25 minutes driving in and around Crewe :angry: Managed to get there in plenty of time in the end though, as D wasn't on stage until 9.30pm. Darius flew down from Scotland and was picked up from Manchester Airport. He gave a consummate performance and had a real swagger on stage, constantly smiling. He moved from side to side as usual, as well as centre stage, but I can't get over how relaxed and comfortable he appeared. I missed how he got off the stage, but he came down to the fencing for his final song and performed it whilst shaking hands etc! The three new songs of his were the same three as Glasgow Green, Bada Bing Badda Boom, Everyone Wants To Be Jack and Crazy Love. He announced that it was the first time he'd performed them to such a large audience, but Glasgow Green would have been a much bigger gig than Crewe. Not really sure why he does this, as it's not the first time he's made inaccurate comments like this about performance of his material :???: The setlist, which lasted about 30 minutes, in order was:- I Get A Kick Out Of You , , , , I've Got You Under My Skin Let There Be Love When I Fall In Love They Can't Take That Away From Me Bada Bing Badda Boom Everyone Wants To Be Jack Crazy Love He mentioned that his song Everyone Wants To Be Jack was written about Jack Nicholson, whom he'd met in LA. He said that when Jack was in the room, all the ladies wanted to be close to him and all the guys wanted to be him. He also congratulated the hardy folk of Crewe for being able to endure the heavy showers. He must have known I was there :D He also said he was still wearing his neckbrace 20 hours a day. I just wish he would keep it on all the time :unsure: He promoted his History Of The Big Band Tour a couple of times and mentioned his official website as well as historyofthebigbands.com All too soon, he announced that the fireworks were about to start and left the stage. The compare pointed people over to the fireworks and they started to drift over. Just as they'd begun, D came back out for piccies and autographs, and I got a quick hand grasp and asked him how his neck was. I also asked him to put his neck brace on! It started to rain, and after about 5 minutes D left, so I snapped a few quick pics of the fireworks and jumped in my car to shoot off home whilst they were still going off, so I'd miss the crowds leaving. I'm going to post this in the Crewe thread and will put some pics in there when I've uploaded them :)
August 29, 201014 yr Lyn's rushing me out, so I've just quickly edited my first few pics to give you a snapshot of his first few minutes on stage. I do have some slightly better shots to post later(I think). http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b252/PaulHardy/Darius%20At%20Crewe%2028-8-2010/01.jpg http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b252/PaulHardy/Darius%20At%20Crewe%2028-8-2010/02.jpg http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b252/PaulHardy/Darius%20At%20Crewe%2028-8-2010/03.jpg http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b252/PaulHardy/Darius%20At%20Crewe%2028-8-2010/04.jpg http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b252/PaulHardy/Darius%20At%20Crewe%2028-8-2010/05.jpg http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b252/PaulHardy/Darius%20At%20Crewe%2028-8-2010/06.jpg http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b252/PaulHardy/Darius%20At%20Crewe%2028-8-2010/07.jpg http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b252/PaulHardy/Darius%20At%20Crewe%2028-8-2010/08.jpg http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b252/PaulHardy/Darius%20At%20Crewe%2028-8-2010/09.jpg
August 29, 201014 yr Thanks Paul, the photos and write-up are much appreciated. I would have been disappointed if I had gone for the blurb said he was to sing his old hits, but he sang all swing. Though it would have been nice to hear his new material. I'm pleased the busking went so well.....all that worry for nothing. Looking forward to seeing more of your photos. Hope you didn't get too wet.
August 29, 201014 yr Im glad every1 who went enjoyed it. Im worried no neck brace but maybe the doctors hav told him he only has 2 wear it 20 hours.
August 29, 201014 yr Thanx for the Lovely pics Paul ............Darius is looking as Gorgeous as ever :heart: !!.............I bet he was as Fantastic as ever too!!.......Sooooo wish i could've seen him there! :( .......Soooooo glad that you managed to go though, and have such a Fab time :D !......Did you get to speak to him afterwards at all??
August 29, 201014 yr Just briefly as I posted above Sharon Oh, and well done for mentioning the neck brace. I knew you'd have done it if you'd been there Meg :) D didn't seem very pleased with me though, and I get the feeling that he's getting tired of people saying it to him. Well as much as I like you Mr Campbell, tough! Myself and the others who care about your well-being will continue to remind you to try and ensure you make the best, speediest and fullest recovery possible, because you are that important to us :) These are some of my best pics, actually there not much better than my first batch, which aren't bad really I suppose :) http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b252/PaulHardy/Darius%20At%20Crewe%2028-8-2010/10.jpg http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b252/PaulHardy/Darius%20At%20Crewe%2028-8-2010/11.jpg http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b252/PaulHardy/Darius%20At%20Crewe%2028-8-2010/12.jpg http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b252/PaulHardy/Darius%20At%20Crewe%2028-8-2010/13.jpg http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b252/PaulHardy/Darius%20At%20Crewe%2028-8-2010/14.jpg http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b252/PaulHardy/Darius%20At%20Crewe%2028-8-2010/15.jpg http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b252/PaulHardy/Darius%20At%20Crewe%2028-8-2010/16.jpg http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b252/PaulHardy/Darius%20At%20Crewe%2028-8-2010/17.jpg http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b252/PaulHardy/Darius%20At%20Crewe%2028-8-2010/18.jpg http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b252/PaulHardy/Darius%20At%20Crewe%2028-8-2010/19.jpg
August 29, 201014 yr Thanks for the report and for the pictures Paul. Glad you enjoyed it despite the weather. I don't know how you managed to get such good pictures in that awful weather, you must have got soaked. Sue
August 29, 201014 yr thanks for the pictures, Paul - Darius looks great, hopefully if his neck is healing 20 hours is enough - I imagine night time in bed tbh would be the time when you need support, after all there is only 4 hours left for D not to wear it, he must take it off or PR and appearances(a couple of hours)
August 29, 201014 yr Thanks, Paul. I just wish they'd hurry up with the video now - not that I'm ever impatient.
