Bradford - 10th March
By Siobhan
It was a brilliant night! Caz was amazing as usual!
Me and my Aunty Debbie got the half past 6 train from Pudsey
to Bradford. We got to St Georges Hall at about 7pm and
went into the bar so my Aunty could get food! At about 7:10pm
Joy and Nanna and Jaz came in and we were sat with them
until we had to go to our seats.
We were up in the ‘Grand Tier’ which was right
up at the top, so we had a great view! There were a few
blokes sat next to us, and right at the beginning they were
taking and said, “ I wonder who the support act is…they’re
usually cr*p” so I butted in and just said “Oh
the support act is Carolynne Good..and I guarantee you,
she is NOT cr*p” and they just kinda looked at me
as if I was strange but I didn’t care that much!
Then Caz came on, and me and my Aunty Debbie were screaming
really loudly! Caz was brilliant!
She sung:
I drove all night
Fallen
Underneath It All
The first cut is the deepest
I can’t make you love me
Underneath your clothes
Desparado
Insane
And Against all odds
She went off stage, and then everyone started getting up,
so we went down to the bar. When we were going down, we
bumped into Caz’s friend Jessica, so we went into
the bar with her! She is soooo lovely! Really pretty as
well! Then when we were in the bar, Caz came in and came
over to where we were standing! She hugged Jess, and my
Aunty Debbie, and then she hugged me, and she said: “oh
hiya Siobhan! I remember you when you were a baby!”
I was just kinda speechless at that point, but then I found
some words, and just said “oh wow! You’re amazing!”
and she just blushed! Then I got my picture with Caz. Then
I told Caz that Dan had said hiya and she just started giggling!
(like she does!)
Then I had to go and find Joy for Caz! I think they found
each other eventually!
We then went back in for Tony Christie, and he was really
good! I was very surprised! There were a few people at the
front who were a bit mad, but I was when Caz was on so I
just laughed!
Caz came on halfway through Tony’s set for the duet
of ‘A Whole New World’ and that was amazing!
Afterwards, we went back on the train with Joy, Jaz and
Nanna! We saw Mick when we got off the train in Pudsey!
It was an amazing night and Carolynne was BRILLIANT!! I
would do it all over again!!

Bradford - 10th March
By Joy (Carolynne's mum!)
Hi everyone!
Enjoyed Bradford very much as you would all expect
Caz mention to me that it is difficult to get out the front
as each venue is different. If she doesn't get to meet with
you it is not because she doesnt want to, but sometimes
she is dashing to get in the waiting car so he can get home
as it is often a long journey for her.
Anyway she said to say hi and thank you very much for the
presents. Caz will come on the site when the tour tends
to thank you all personally.
Anyway, just about to set off to the venue in Scarborough.
We will drop Carolynne off for her sound check and then
go get some eats. Looking forward to seeing this show too
and seeing our friends that live in Bridlington.

Scarborough - 12th March
By Joy
Hi again
Well the show last night in Scarborough was excellent!
I thought it was better than Bradford. Sound and lighting
much better for Carolynnes set. She is just fab! The friends
that we took along had not seen her perform live before
and they were blown away (hee hee -I was very proud) She
had on a fantastic oufit and just really did look beautiful
(sorry, mother going on a bit).

Hey guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
W ent 2 lynn last night - caz was AMAZING! i think i was
the only 1
there for her, but she was SO amazing, her voice has really
developed,
its so much stronger now and i dont think i heard 1 note
that was wrong!!!
Heres what she sang, i think its in the right order, hope
i havent missed
anything!!:I Drove All Night - WOAH the best ive heard her
sing this, it was flawless, absolutly stunning. I went mad
wen she came on, everyone around me mustve thought i was
mad!!! i was the first to cheer hehe!!
It actually made me cry too partly cos of caz being there
and cos it was
so beautiful!!!
Fallen - ive never heard this song before, but im def gonna
download it now, just like caz said, the lyrics are lovely,
and she sang it SO well it really suited her voice.
Underneath It All - I was happy she did this song, cos
im a huge fan of no
doubt and i heard she didnt sing it on some dates, it was
wicked, i loved
her little dances to some of it hehe!! It really suited
her voice too!!!
I Cant Make You Love Me - SO glad she sang this song, ive
loved it since
i heard her sing it on that clip from the site, it was so
beautiful, again,
flawless and the crowd seemed to like it.
Desperado - WOO! another 1 i was really glad she sang!!!
It was great to
hear it all the way through, and again the crowd seemed
to like it, the
soully style of the song really suited her, itd be nice
to hear a studio
version of this!!!The First Cut Is The Deepest - haha when
she started to sing this, i was singing along but it didnt
click what it was until the chorus came in it took her back
to her rocky/country style and it really suited her, again.
Underneath Your Clothes - wicked wicked wicked, cheered
hard when she sang this and alot of other people WOOOOed
when she said she was gonna sing it. she said 'i came 3rd,
which is good' lol, when she talked about the Academy,and
some dude shouted something like 'i voted for you' (i dont
no if thatswhat he actually said lol!!!) and caz said 'haha
you and my dad '. this song was flawless as always, probably
the best ive heard her sing it along with the final of FA.
Insane - YAY! I love this song SOOO much man, im so glad
she did it, its
renewed my love for it all over again, it was great to hear
the middle part
of the song too, and to hear the real backing track! before
it started caz
said 'this next song is one of my own' and i went WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
and clapped, and she laughed, i hope she didnt think i meant
i was bored ofthe covers, lol, it dawned on my afterwards!!!
if youre reading this caz, or
joy, i didnt mean it like that, was just so looking forward
2 peoples
reactions and finally hearing the song live!!! and when
she said
'this is insane' i went WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOand clapped again
and slowly other people started clapping with me *proud*
(that happened a few times lmao)
Against All Odds - some cow behind me went 'oh no please
dont' when caz said she was gonna sing this, but i think
it was gorgeous, just like the rest of them A very well
done to Caz for that gig, it was basically flawless, really
cant wait for the album which she said would 'hopefully
be out next year'.
Caz sounded reaaallly nervous at the start, the introductions
i mean, the
singing was flawless,but did seem to relax towards the middle
which was
good!!!! she sounded so cute i just wanted to hug her!!!!
She looked GORGEOUS, my seats were quite far back but she
looked stunning,white dress with chunky belt, i think it
was the same outfit she wore on the 1st night, with wavy
hair. I heard alot of people talking about her when i left
afterwards. I didnt stay for the duet, cos we were in the
middle of an aisle so my mum was like 'i dont really wanan
be getting up as soon as carolynne has done the duet' and
i didnt wanna sit through TC to be honest with ya lol!!!
Didnt meet caz was VERY gutted about that, had my camera
and everything, but the bar was packed in the interval,
and i dont think the crowd gave her the recognition she
deserved, norfolk golden oldie crowds r pretty hard 2 please
for support acts, even though alot of the time when i was
going mad and clapped n woooooing some people joined in
with me(!!!!)and i did walk down 2 the tour bus but noone
was there.
Thats my review of last night!!!!! it was really truely
phenomenal, im so
glad ive seen caz now, and i can surely say ill be going
with some of u guys whenever she gigs next Im disappointed
i didnt meet her but im SO happy that people were talking
about her afterwards and that she put on such a good show.

1st April - Doncaster
By Chris
Hey guys! Here’s my review of the AMAZING Carolynne
set from the
Tony Christie gig at Doncaster Dome last night! It will
probably
be a long and boring review, so get yourself a drink now!
lol
I was so chuffed when she came on the stage, cos I’ve
never seen her live
before and it was well worth it! But one thing that surprised
me about her
set was how quiet and shy she was in between the songs and
speaking to the audience, almost whispering. Totally not
what I expected!
Anyway here’s my review of the songs : -
I Drove All Night – Good solid song to begin with!
Thought she sang it very
well and made a few uninterested people shut up and listen!
One woman in front of me said “She’s good isn’t
she?!” As if she expected her not to be!
Fallen – Never heard this song before,and it didn’t
really like it that much,
but she sang it beautifully! She didn’t leave the
microphone stand for either of these songs so I was hoping
she’d move around a bit more. Then she did on the
next song!
Underneath It All – I’m a huge fan of this
song, and was really glad when
I read she was gonna be singing it! It was definitely the
best performance
she gave for moving around the stage and connecting with
the audience and stuff! Got a big cheer too!
The First Cut Is The Deepest – WOW she really gave
it some in this one! I like the song and it really suited
her voice and she got even better as the song went on! And
most people in the audience seemed to like it too!
I Can’t Make You Love Me – As she introduced
this song she said something like “The lyrics of this
song mean so much to me at the moment, this is I can’t
make you love me” she seemed quite emotional, which
concerned me a bit. Either way she sang it beautifully,
even though I’m not really a fan of the song.
Underneath Your Clothes – She introduced this song
as the ‘song she sang in the Fame Academy Final’
and as ever she sang it amazingly well! I think she sings
it better than Shakira and got a huge cheer afterwards!
Probably my favourite song that she sings, which isn’t
one of hers!
Desperado – She dedicated this song to her Dad (dunno
if he was there)which was nice. I LOVE this song anyway,
and was so glad she performed it! And seemed to really get
into it.
Insane – My fave Caz song! I LOVE THIS SONG! When
she introduced it she said, “I wrote this song in
the Fame Academy where I was locked in a house for 13 weeks
with no outside contact, and no TV. So there’s a reason
I called it Insane!” No-one laughed though! By far
it was vocally her best performance of the night, and really
gave it everything she had, and everybody seemed to love
it and got a nice reception from the crowd. Definitely the
best of the night!!
Against All Odds – Nice to hear her sing this song,
cos as she said it’s been
covered a thousand times! Good way to end her set and she
got a nice warm applause afterwards, but I think most people
just wanted to see Tony.
Also, how amazing was the guy on the saxophone?! He got
a big cheer at the end too! Then it was the interval and
I went straight to the bar and waited for 20 mins to see
if Caz came, but she didn’t although it wasn’t
really a real bar, it was just a homemade kind of one in
the main entrance, so I didn’t think she’d go.
I then got sat down again for Tony’s set and got chatting
to the 2 old ladies next to me (cos I was on my own) and
told them I’d only come to see Carolynne, and we talked
about Fame Academy and how well Lemar’s done (he’s
performing on the same stage at Doncaster next week!) and
how Alex has disappeared. But she didn’t remember
Caz from the show! They then convinced me to stay for the
whole Tony set, which I did! Lol.
A Whole New World – This was probably the 2nd best
performance of the night for me. Caz was amazing singing
Disney! And she and Tony really sang well together and more
people took photos when they were both on stage together,
than when Tony was on his own! So they must’ve liked
it! And she got an even bigger cheer afterwards (amazing
what singing with Tony can do!). I think they should release
this song, cos it would easily get to No.1 and as Tony said
it’s never been released as a single.
I then went to the toilet after this to see if Caz was
leaving, I waited a while but didn’t get to meet her
which I was GUTTED about! Then I went and watched the rest
of Tony! And he was quite good! And was only on for another
hour after their duet, he mainly sang covers too, like lotsa
Beatles songs and Swing songs.
And every person was on their feet dancing to Amarillo,
and Benny Hill came on stage with the ostrich thing like
in the video LOL.
Tony said it was the best concert of his life! And he wasn’t
just saying that,
cos it’s his home gig and allllllll his family and
friends were there and it
was very rowdy! I then waited outside in the cold for a
further 10 minutes to see if Carolynne was there, but she
must’ve gone! I REALLY wanted to meet her, but never
mind!
Overall it was an amazing night, and I hope I can get to
more Carolynne gigs in the future, and she MUST start releasing
some stuff soon!!!
