I went on a public tour of Symphony Hall in Birmingham today, which was not only very interesting, but I also got to see 'behind the scenes' there too. It sure is a beautiful venue for most any event, and what really made my day was the fact that we got to visit one of the dressing rooms. Imagine my delight when I asked which dressing room Chris Rea had when he appeared at Symphony Hall in March and was told 'This one' and that he actually sat on the two-seater sofa which had been behind me, and did I want to sit on it too?
What a feeling I had, knowing I was in the room HE'D been in! Wow! It may not sound much to any of you, but it sure made me feel soooo good. I even stood on the stage where he'd performed that night I went to see him, although it looked a bit different from then, as they had it all set up for the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra's concert this evening which is also being recorded by the BBC. When we were shown the loading bay where the artists arrive in their chauffer-driven cars, and where the vehicles carrying all the gig equipment unloads, the BBC van or whatever they call it, was parked on our left. So, it was quite an exciting and interesting visit I had today. Just thought I'd like to share it with you all.TescoGirl33
I hope you tried the acoustics out on the stage with an impromptu performance.
