I've *just* walked in from the Darren Hayes concert at the Dome in Brighton. Full reprt coming on Sunday, but I have to say, not only am I glad I went, even though I was alone, but I actually think I enjoyed it *more* on my own!
It was fantastic. Darren was funny, emotional, appreciative, and above all, he's got the best voice of any of my favourite singers, and *man*, was he on form this evening. I have a lot to think about, things that came up during the concert - either as a result fo the lyrics to some songs, or from things that Darren said when he was talking about how his latest album came to be.
I'm tired, emotional, and still on such a high ... I didn't even take many photos, because I was too busy singing along, jumping up and down, and clapping for all I was worth! Best bit though? During "I Want You" I was one of the few people bouncing along, singing and clapping my hands above my head, and Darren smiled and waved at me! Me! Wahey!

Sounds like fun! I off to see HIM in December alone in Manchester, done it plenty of times before. The first concert I went to alone was Alanis Morissette in Manchester back in 1999!
Glad you enjoyed yourself!

Hi Kirstie,
I'm glad to hear what a great time you had at the concert.
Sounds like it was well worth it ;-)

Hi Lins, and Alison!
I'm still thinking about last night, and trying to put it into words, but ... I can't!
It was definitely up there with the Bon Jovi/Meat Loaf etc concerts, and I think I'd forgotten how much Darren's songwriting touches me, as well as his voice. He's probably technically the best singer I've ever heard - his voice is clear as a bell, and he can hit notes I've never heard before, and hold them as well. The lyrics are so heartfelt, and most of his songs are a proper story, rather than just verse, chorus, repeat as needed.
I'm going to ramble on incessantly if I don't stop myself, so I'll shut up now, and just say ... when's the next tour, Darren?!
