I had never been to a concert before as I am only 9 years old. But my Mum and Dad dragged me to see The Hollies in Basingstoke on March 7th. I had no idea of what to expect - to start off it was very loud and I didn't think I was going to enjoy myself. By the interval I was really enjoying myself, it was very good!
The
song I liked the most was "Goodbye Blackberry Way" and I can't stop
singing the chorus. I thought Carl was brilliant with his singing, Tony was
extremely good with the guitars he played and I liked the part before "The
Baby" when he played the Indian sounding music. Alan and Ray were good as
well, Bobby was very good on the drums and Ian on the accordion and keyboard.
All the funny remarks that were made, made me laugh. Carl made a comment to some
people who were late in arriving and it turned out to be Rays' wife, also when
Tony said that Ray's wife would only come if he stood at the front on the middle
mic!! Also when Carl told Tony to hurry up with the "Indian" music,
because he had a holiday booked in two weeks time!!
"Bus Stop" was good as Carl told everyone to look at the pictures of
bus stops and ended up singing with his back to the audience. They even turned
the dog round so he could watch the pictures. When everyone stood up to dance to
"Tiger Feet", the whole building shook.
I'm just waiting for my Mum and Dad to get some more tickets so I can go again!
I had a really fun evening.
