He's so hot, unfortunatly I'm not his type! Julie1 has sent me a text photo of the set list - sorry I can't post it, but I'm not at home. The Jimmy Hendrix one says Them Changes and he apparently finished with My Baby She Wrote Me A Letter. ****! Amazing. Two new songs and TMTW remix. Fabulous eeeeee! he bloody effing loved it! Just got a text from my 30year old niece. From her first ever festival and first ever Will sighting. Quote... " Will is very good. Big Top is full of people. I can not get in. Having to watch on screens outside.Loads of people enjoying him." She will be after me for tickets soon. C.G Posted on twitter twelve minutes ago.. " I've caved and cracked open the bubbly.. Poor Will Youngs been besiged by fans and all he wants is a cigarette Solent_SinRadio: Had a nice little chat with will young! Waiting for mcfly to turn up. Just had a very long telephone conversation with Julie", and she was absolutely ecstatic. She said he was absolutely phenomonal. I will leave her to make one of her wonderful reports, but just a couple of things. She said that when they came out of the tent, which was absouluely jam packed,the whole of the huge area behind the tent was packed with people watching on big screens. She said that, apart form WAI amd LRN every other song was upbeat, brilliant. People sang the loudest for LRN but they also sang all the words to WAI, Grace and Changes. She said that he had really thought about what he was singing, as apparently Jimmy Hendrix performed and the first IOW festival so that's why he sang Them Changes. She'll tell you all about swopping hats, etc etc, but it all sounds as if it went off amazingly well. Thanks to Mary for relaying all the news.

June 14, 200916 yr Did you see the little interview with Fearne Cotton before the song? Bric a Brac shop? Sailor's uniform? He is a nutter!
June 14, 200916 yr Thanks to wills-toothbrush. Don't you just love twitter. Last week she posted on twitter saying she didn't know if she should watch Will or The stereophonics(my reply was Will)here is what she posted last night............... IOW Festival was fab, didn't get as drunk so hopefully less fuzzy tomorrow. Will Young was brilliant - best thing so far for me by a mile! Just got this message from her.... I have a couple of pics and a bit of video so will try and get them to you. He was totally charming and went down a storm :dance: :yahoo:
June 14, 200916 yr Author Thanks girls for the new stuff. Don't you just love twitter. I can't believe how much news we get from it TT :dance:
June 15, 200916 yr Barbeque's and a christening this weekend, but I've Sky+ all the IOW stuff on tv, I've just watched Will sing Amy, it was superb! :wub: I thought I'd better get my butt on here and read up, it sounds like Will was superb as always, I'm so chuffed he went down well at the IOW festival and great comments from everyone, even from the lovely Darren. :D
June 15, 200916 yr Thanks to Ros. :dance: back from the IOW festival!! Highlights - - WILL YOUNG, Basement Jaxx and Steroephonics!! 24 minutes ago from web
June 15, 200916 yr I went to M&S this morning and met my daughter's friend/colleague. She went to see Will on Saturday and was absolutely "blown away" by him. She couldn't get over how good he was and what a lovely man too. She said that some of the acts appear to be doing you a favour by appearing whereas Will was really up for it and determined to give everyone a good time. I then went to WHSmith and some people were talking about it - I piped up and asked them what they thought of him. Again they said he was amazing and so good with the crowd. These were two married couples - ordinary blokes who just were great fans - and their wives, who also like Will. None of these people were in the "Will bubble" and I think it is great to hear. I got the standard reply from ITV.com - they are passing my message on to senior management.

I got the standard reply from ITV.com - they are passing my message on to senior management. It sure is. Thanks for posting their comments Pearl. :D These festivals are the best way to change people's blinkered perception of Will. I hope they will be encouraged by the reception he receives to release more kick ass singles. Edited June 15, 200916 yr by truly talented
June 15, 200916 yr Author Thanks Pearl. He's getting himself known around the festivals and filling the stages which can only bode well for future gigs. And,despite the lack of coverage for his live set, we did at least get an acoustic set. :dance:
June 15, 200916 yr I love posting these comments. Some guy just posted on the IOW festival forum: Never really liked Will Young but after seeing him perform in the Big tent I take it all back. Cracking voice and a great Soul singer. One of the biggest surprises of the weekend. Thanks to suzzi.

The 30 year old also showed off his new fella at the Absolute Radio VIP lounge 'They looked very into each other' said my source. To top up the gay factor ,he stuck an inflatable penis on his head after it was thrown at him during his performance' Thanks to Sandra on Devoted for this snippet. Julie has a photo of this but I thought I'd better not post it up on an open forum :P :lol: Edited June 15, 200916 yr by munchkin
