While the second band were on I noticed Dean stood behind me. I got talking to him & asked if I'd be able to get back stage after the show, as I'd prepared a few questions for a mini-interview. He said he'd see what he could arrange.
Anyway, after hanging around for 15-20 minutes after the show I managed to get backstage & meet them all. Tanya said she wasn't upto an interview & apologised, which was understandable I suppose;) Apart from that, I got to talk to'em all & spent about 30-40 minutes with'em.
Dean was clasping a 'Telly Tubby' doll that he'd got from somewhere & was showing people posters of'em! Elizabeth was saying that they'd have to learn the dance from it so thay could do it on stage! You guys in the States could be in for a real treat;)
Whilst talking to Dean I said I'd never seen a photo of the happy couple together, & asked him if they'd like one taken. So he asked T & they stood arm in arm while I took one:)
Oh yeah, I remembered to ask about 'Time Of The Season' this time, apparently it's a cover of a Zombies tune.
On the way home I got pulled by the cops, on the pretence of going a bit fast, they just wanted to do a breath test. I bet they wondered why I had such a large grin on my face whilst they were breathalizing me & asking questions like: 'have you been smoking anything sir'? :) They could see I was high....but they couldn't find out what I was on!!! Heh, heh:)
See ya'....Stew
P.S. I'll get the photos sorted ASAP.
