Ha, Frankie Goes to Hollywood – could not believe it when I heard it at the rehearsal – I remember when that song was released and the video was banned by the BBC π

I’ve had over 100 hits from a ‘tubular bells’ fans forum – for all of you – HERE HE IS π
The light display around the bowl is created by LED panels fixed to each seat – at the rehearsal we were allowed to detach them and make our own lightshow – I hope the audience tonight is allowed to play with them!
Amazing control of each individual light (there’s more to come) – hours of programming I imagine…

Hope you’re enjoying the show – I’m just as thrilled now as when I saw these bits at the rehearsal – the noise in the bowl was unbelievable – I could feel the vibrations from all of the drums right through my body…
Sorry for the quality of the pics – they were taken on my phone – regretted a million times that I hadn’t taken a proper camera…

I’m at home with the hounds – I am being very politically correct – drinking diet coke and eating cadbury’s chocolate – so that’s two official sponsors placated π
I’ll pass on the MacDonalds!
Richard is there!

Friday 27th July
Richard’s shift as an Olympic volunteer started at 2pm – he sounds so excited!
This is the update he emailed at 2.25pm:
“Volunteers gathering,Β excitement growing, hard to hear as everybody trying to tell everybody about their experiences so far at rehearsals. Big smiles, eager anticipation, briefing soon. Loads of noise from stadium as people practice, some new music . . . . . I really can’t wait.”
Followed shortly by a text saying:
“Briefing starting, first welcome cheer so loud. Volunteers getting excellent feedback from audience. No pressure tonight only billion people watching”
I am so happy for him (and not a bit jealous :-P) – I think that he may even be working inside the stadium itself so I hope that he gets a great view of the show, though I’m sure they’ll keep the volunteers busy.
He and the other volunteers are vital to the orderly running of tonight’s extravaganza – though let it not be said that I didn’t make a contribution – I did wash and iron his uniform!
