Take That ... The Circus Live Tour

I went to The Circus on 4th July 2009... The Take That Circus at Wembley Stadium! What can I say? They were fantastic! Their best tour yet (I say that every time and yet each time it's so true), but they're still promising to come back and do more. The support acts for the Wembley show I saw were Gary Go and Lady Ga Ga, both of which were OK, but you're not there for them. You're there for Take That! This tour was based around their current album of the same name, The Circus, and it really was a show, complete with an elephant (not a real one, but it was huge and made up of dancers/circus people!), clowns, balloons, dancers and circus folk doing ...  Read the complete review

On a cold, wet, and rainy summers day I ventured up to Hampden Park in Glasgow for the Take That - The Circus Live Tour Concert. A friend and I had managed to get our hands on last minute tickets after being bitterly disappointed at not getting some when they were first on sale. It was a Sunday, and on our way to the Stadium we had Take That pumping on the stereo - mind you, every car we passed seemed to have the same! (The motorway was like one big giant Take That Party - it was stupendous!) When we arrived there was some time before the concert began and we filled that by a bit of people watching. There seemed to be people from all walks of life, there ...  Read the complete review

Stunning - that's the word I would use to describe this tour. I have seen Take That a few times (first and second time around) and this si the best yet. I went to see this at the Lancs cricket ground in Manchester. It rained. A lot. Lady Gaga couldn't be bothered to show up. But at the end of the day, who cares? Take That were there! The costumes and the stage sets were breathtaking, from the clown costumes, to the balloons to the fireworks at the end. No money spared. The lads were great, good mixture of old and new stuff and the crowd all contributed to a brilliant atmosphere - there's something spine-tingling about 60,000 people, arms in the ...  Read the complete review

Take That Stadium Tour - "The Circus" Fun, fast and fresh, Take That's concert at Wembley Stadium was a thousand times better than I had expected it to be. I've always rather liked Take That's music, but was never a keen follower of the group as many of my school friends were throughout the 90s. It was good music, catchy tunes, but I just didn't fancy them. This time round is a very different story - the concert at Wembley changed all that. The great thing about this concert was that it was a show; Gary Barlow, Mark Owen, Jason Orange and Howard Donald are showmen - they are performers! Their quirky, cheeky antics had me ...  Read the complete review

16 years ago, at the tender age of 15 I am standing in a stable at the yard where I used to ride. We've finished the mucking out, we've ridden 4 horses each and they are out playing in the fields. Which means that, for 2 hours before we have to get them in again we are free to play!!! On goes the tape cassette, up goes the volume and the shaving floor of the stable transforms miraculously into a dance floor and our practice of the best boy band of the eras latest dance commences!!! This routine formed the majority of my youth years. Take That, or more to the point the delectable and astoundingly cute Mark Owen commanded my waking hours. Dance routines were ...  Read the complete review
