Hi everyone,
My first post on this new site - thanks to all who have enabled it!!
I'll be there tomorrow at the O2 - promptly, of course! I do have a spare ticket available, as someone travelling from the US cannot get to UK on time. Good news is that I can offer it at the price I paid - bad news is, you'll have to sit with me!
Please contact me if you are interested - in the ticket that is!!!!
As some of you know, and I am grateful for your support and understanding, I have had a traumatic year as my father has been very sick. I had to consent to him having both his legs amputated earlier this year to give him a better chance of survival. Even after the amputation he only had a 10% chance of pulling through - and God willing, he has made a remarkable recovery. He will never be able to have prosthetic limbs, so is in a wheelchair forever and has made himself involuntarily homeless, so will be moved into a specially adapted flat in early November. He is currently in rehab.
I'll see all, or most, of you on my travels, I hope, as I am going to the O2 tomorrow and the the NIA on 3 & 4 October and the final two UK shows at Wembley. Not many for me, as most of you know, I usually do loads and often go into Europe, too. I am sad about this being the end - and that the last concerts are away from the UK - but I must remember not to cry because it is over - but to laugh because it all happened! I, again like many of you, have had lots of life enhancing experiences following The Shadows, and in general am extremely grateful for that.
Finally, if The Shadows themselves are reading this, thank you for the fun, laughs, meals, drinks, but mostly - thank you for the music guys!
Hope you enjoy your farewell and can have a happy retirement - by next Spring, you'll have earned it
Lots of love, Kaye xxx (aka Mugwumpsthecat).
