Today I went to see my first ever indoor concert! Mum, Dad and me went to the Hammersmith Apollo to see The Wiggles! We were very lucky as someone Dad knows helped him get free tickets, so we had enough money to be able to buy me a Dorothy the Dinosaur backpack AND a red 'The Wiggles in Concert' t-shirt.
We got there at about 1.15 pm, bought our swag and took our seats (row J) and waited (and waited) until the lights went down at around 2pm and then... the ringmaster started the show and introduced each of The Wiggles: Jeff (in purple), Greg (in yellow, his first tour since about 2006 because he got sick), Anthony (blue) and Murray (red).
It was a very special show because it was the final London show ever for this line-up. After their 2012 tour dates, Murray, Jeff and Greg are all leaving the band and a new version will tour from next year. They've been doing it for 21 years and need a rest I guess : )
During the show, lots of people had taken flowers (for Dorothy), bones (for Wags the Dog) and all sorts of cards and signs for the band and sometimes the band came down into the audience to collect them!
At one point when this happened, me and Dad went out to the foyer to get me a drink of water and we bumped into Murray as he was making his way back downstairs so we said a quick hello and he asked me what my name was!
The view outside!
