Coucou !!!
Il semble que les meets & greets" soient annoncés au dernier moment, et que toutes les personnes qui se sont incrites soient averties peu de temps avant le concert !!
Rien n'est sûr, mais, cependant, à Belfast, quelques Fans ont eu l'immense plaisir de rencontrer Lionel, en plus des musiciens !!!
Je ne sais pas si Kelli y est pour quelque chose, mais, voilà, ça arrive !!!
Voici un témoignage d'une Fan qui a pu rencontrer Lionel !!!
Un truc génial, c'est d'organiser une petite rencontre avec les autres Fans, avant le concert !!! Et sachez que les "meets & greets" ont gnéralement lieu pendant les répétitions, avant le concert !!!
Kelli ne peut rien me dire à l'avance !!! Elle est seulement sûre d'une rencontre avec les musiciens !!!
Faites tout pour mettre toutes les chances de votre côté !!! Y compris des "pancartes" montrant que vous faites partie de son "FanClub" !!!
A Paris, il y a Nathalie, son mari, Ashal, sans doute Ismaîl et très certainement Sissi, d'Allemagne !!!
A lyon ??? Toi, Fabien, et qui d'autre ??? Et, à Marseille : Corimme et Benjamin !! Alors, organisez une rencontre entre vous et ce sera déjà super !!! Et, croisez les doigts pour la suite, en étant "acteurs" !!!
Je vous souhaite, à tous, tout le meilleur du monde !!!!
"Hi All,
Back home again after all my travels. I just want to share with you
all our account of our meet and greet.
Anne and myself met with in Steve in "The Odssey Arena" before the
concert and Steve got the passes for us through the box office.
Steve said he would not stay for meet and greet as he had to drive
back to Dublin after the Concert. We really enjoyed the Concert and
the whole place was electric. There was I would say between 8000 -
10000 people there and there did not seem to be too many empty seats
at all. We were sitting at the side of the stage and the view we had
was brilliant and Lionel came over to the side of the stage many many
times. After the Concert we nervously spoke with a lady who was a
steward there and showed us the passes we had recieved. We had to
wait a while and a man from Aiken Promotions who was the agent who
brought the concert to Ireland came to us and asked us how did we get
those passes we told him and off he went again. He came back after a
few minutes and we were taken away into the back stage area and told
to wait for a while again. We were waiting in a long corridor and
after a while a guy named Michael came to us and asked us our names
and how did we get the passes. He went away and at this stage we
still did not know what was happening. After a while the band
themseves passed us in the Corridor I don't think they knew we were
waiting for a meet and greet but they all spoke to us and we told
them that we really enjoyed the Concert. They were all laughing and
joking and in very good form.
About 10 minutes after this we saw a group of people walking down the
corridor and who was in the middle of them but Lionel himself. Anne
nearly got a weakness and said I suppose now is not a good time to
get a panic attack which I said I don't think so. He stopped and
spoke to other people along the corridor and then the group stopped
at us. Michael introduced us and Lionel gave each of us a hug and a
kiss and asked us did we enjoy the concert. I had a camera in my
hand and did not know weather we could get a photo take or what but
Lionel said to Michael to take a photo of and to make sure that it
got up in the web site and also to tell Kelli he was asking about
her. we told him we were going to see him in Dublin the following
night and he told us to enjoy the concert. He was a really really
nice guy totally down to earth and very friendly. We nearly danced a
jig when he went with delight and that photo is going to be so
precious to us both.
We got back to our hotel on cloud nine and went for a drink in the
bar. We met 2 other girls who had been at the Concert and they said
it was magical, and when we showed them the photo they nearly died
and said how lucky we were to have met him as they would have loved
it too.
Both Anne and myself have been fans of Lionel Riche since the early
80's and for us to actually meet him was a dream come through. I can
only say that hopefully more of you will get to meet him in the
future. I don't know if it was that there was only to be 3 people
for the meet and greet that was why he met us but it really made the
concert for us and then to see him again the night after was just so
so great.
I am sorry this is so long winded but I just wanted to let you all
know the full details on it.
I again want to thank everyone who made it possible and thank Kelli
and all the others who run the online fan club because only for them
this would not have been possible.
Hopefully I will be able to put up some photos I only have a dial up
connection which is very slow so if they don't go up for me I will
drop into my brother and upload them from there.
Helene"
