What a night! Front row seats at the Il Divo concert last night! We had dinner at friends - Dave and Shelley's- and then hired a bus to take us to the Asia World Expo site - door to door service! First time ever to have seats so close to the performers - and what voices! In seventh heaven, for sure!
Shelley, me and Margie, all dolled up for the show - sat and drank wine, and champagne, while we were serenaded - the singers were only a few metres away - fab!
Dave and Shelly
Dave wrote a note to Il Divo and was waiting to throw it onstage - a true fan!
Point to your favourite divo!
Oh, yes, the Spaniard - they were all very handsome - we felt a bit like teenagers!
The orchestra was amazing, in particular the guitarist - who played both acoustic and electric guitar. Really great sound, not overpowering, and a great support for the vocals.
From left, the Frenchman, the Spaniard, the American and the Swiss vocalists - brilliant voices, and incredible harmonies!

GRAD Fashion Show Fundraiser September 2009
Meg and Sarah were involved in our first ever GRAD Fashion Show fundraiser - Sarah as my production assistant, and Meg, in heels, as one of the 26 models. Meg wore a one-of-a-kind designer dress - now called "Meaghan". Over 200 people came to the theatre to enjoy the fashion show and all of the dresses were auctioned off, with proceeds going to scholarships this year. Over $33,000 HKD was raised - a ton of work, and fun!
Sarah hard at work setting up the lobby area for the auction while the audience members were enjoying the show in the theatre.
Meg and Juliana Paterman before the show, in the backstage area.
The three 'Bate' girls- Juliana is one of Sarah's best friends, and we are now her guardians while she spends her last year at CDNIS, before going back to Austria.
Meg and friends Xanthia and Gaby, who worked as the fashion consultant for the models.
Getting ready to go onstage....!
Meg, adjusting her heels (1st time!)
And there she goes!
Finale at the end of the show! Great fun for the whole family!
