When it was all over and the crowd were leaving I joined Kazza and Michele at their table. During the night I met Kazza's DD too, so we were standing there talking about the concert when a young couple came up. They were wanting to see Damien.I think they were both with SO. George came out and it ws arranged that he would take them backstage to meet Damien. They came out of the meeting really chuffed because they had never met anyone like Damien before. Kazza had a lovely gift for Damien, but I will let her tell you about it. She asked George if he would give it to Damien but George said to wait a couple of minutes because he would be out. Let me just say that I saw the present and I went straight to heaven. I didn't even die first. We had some general chit chat. I asked if I could have a one on one photo with Damien, which he obliged. I haven't had one for quite a while. I have been standing back and letting others have the photo, but I felt pretty good tonight so I got one. ;D Some other people came over to talk to Damien also. I detected an Irish accent or two A few more photos, we forgot to get a group one with or without Damien and then we left. We didn't have a Hut. Oh no! The last concert and NO Hut. Kazza offered me a lift to my car because I parked a block away. That would have been alright except Kazza lost where her car was We finally found it and I was deposited back to my car and on our merry way we went. I will put some information and photos in the C & A thread. I willalso post some photos in the Photo Gallery but they are not uploaded yet. THANK YOU DAMIEN FOR THE FANTASTIC CONCERT TOUR. I HAVE ENJOYED EVERY ONE THAT I MANAGED TO GET TO.

:xmascheer: Goodness gracious! Braffy, what a terrific report... lol you know you don't need to add anything to your posts! Sounds like a perfect way to end the tour and yes, they all definitely deserve this break. Thanks Braffy, for really making me feel like I was there too.

What a fantastic report Braffy! Sounds like the last show of the year was absolutely wonderful! So glad you all were able to see Damien and wish him a Merry Christmas in person :sparklexmas: Wow how great is it that the CDs were selling out! Well, not great in that there weren't enough, but great that they were in high demand - naturally! That's a lovely story about Danny Boy & sounds like that lady in the audience would have been thrilled. I think it's one of the all time most beautiful songs ever written, and Damien's arrangement and Indi's violin bring it alive - spare and to the heart, just the way it sounds best (imho at least). I don't think I've heard Father and Son since Dee Why in July! That's great to see it on the set list again, it's gorgeous. Same with Wild World. How exciting to have Unchained Melody as a special request!! Kazza and Michele must have been thrilled. Thank so much for posting tonight Kazza and Braffy, great to hear all the news!

Thanks Shims and Nuffy. :xmashug: I have remembered something else. When Damien was doing the first song on the keyboard (Goodnight) he apologised at the end of it for a few dud notes that he had done. Apparently the foot pedal was slipping away from him all the time and he was trying to chase it under the keyboard with his foot. The more his foot went the more he was slipping off the stool.

What a fantastic report Braffy how do you do it I seriously could not get my head together thats why I lost my way in the car park Plus I was very tired from sitting up till 2am the last week making a certain somebody and his family a gift. Braffy has mentioned a present for Damien now I think she said she went straight to heaven didn't even die first thankyou Braffy,In my wisdom I decided to make D and family an 8x8 album now I am a scrapbooker but I only gave myself a week what was I thinking,was hoping to give it to George but he told us to wait D came out and I gave him the pressie so what made Braffy so excited you ask... On the first page was a 5x7 close up photo of the man my fav shot of all time (apart from the ones some of you girls have taken then through out the book I made sure ther were pictures with Indi,Eric,Jimmy,Ray and George,I addressed it to the whole family and wrote in it about how we the fans see Damien how grateful we are for the time he spends with fans a bit about the different photos etc..He seemed genuinally surprised said the phots were fantastic and I had some great shots only used about 30 didn't tell him how many others I had at home So here are a couple of shots of him looking at the album.I really wasn't going to mention the gift so thankyou Braffy for enjoying it enough to tell everyone about it
