Mumford and Sons front row adventures

For my birthday my Ma and Pa got me Mumford and Son's tickets! My sister and I saw them back in April at a secret gig and I saw them almost three years to the day at the o2!

I regretted getting seated tickets the first time I saw them so I knew I wanted to stand! I took the day off work and my sister and I headed over to the o2 at about 11am.

I wanted to queue and try and get to the front, I was shocked though when we turned up at 1pm to see only 8-10 people in the queue. The 5 and a half hours actually went very quickly and before we knew it we were at the front barrier bang in the middle of the stage!

I got an amazing jumper (so did my sister) that I am currently wearing and it is just SOO comfy and I love it! I also have to thank Sarah for that as she is WAY too generous with me and paid for half of it! So THANK YOU to her!

I was a little gutted as 15-20 minutes into Mumford coming on Sarah had to go to the ladies room really badly and had to leave the front row! I was GUTTED for her and really torn of what to do! I decided to stay and although I am sad Sarah wasn't there to enjoy it with me I had an unbelievable time.

At one point Marcus jumped down and I missed him by only a few inches! They played loads of oldies which was amazing as I have to say I do much prefer those including Little Lion Man! Alas no Winter Winds again!

It was amazing though and I managed to get a set list at the end of the night! Sarah came and found me as I was still waiting for a encore (I didn't realise that had already happened haha!) I didn't want it to end. I sang so hard my voice felt like it was breaking and I was exhausted.

I loved it! AND I just want to go back again!

I managed to stick my set list in my scrap book upside down so yay for that!

But it was amazing and being front row was completely surreal. Jack Garret was the support act and he was amazing too, I might have to have a look into seeing him live as his album comes out early next year!

I hope it isn't another 3 year wait for a new album and I can go and see Mumford sooner! I have to say they are my all time favourite band right now!

2015 is shaping up to be a fab year - Mumford &Sons intimate gig!

2015 is shaping up to be an exciting year!

• I meet the Game of Thrones cast and attend a red carpet event….
• I am going to meet Richard Dean Anderson in July..
• I am seeing Astronautalis next month …
• AND yesterday I got to see Mumford & Sons live in an intimite gig…

On Thursday I got an email saying that tickets for a tiny gig were going on sale on Friday at 10am… the show was Monday night and it was in the Brighton corn exchange (less than 2,000 people)

I frantically got up as many screens as I could and waited between 9:30-10am refreshing waiting for the tickets to go on sale. I managed to grab two I was soo insanely excited I was shaking SO much I couldn't enter my card number. I believe within minutes they were sold out so I was very lucky and CRAZY excited!

So I finished work half hour early yesterday and speed home to get dressed and my sister picked me up. I picked one of my favorite dresses (my duck dress). I scoffed a sandwich and crisps in the car for my dinner and we drove down to Brighton. The doors opened at 7pm and the band came on at 8:30pm but I wanted to get there as soon as possible.

We queued for a while I think we got there about 6:45pm and we got in quite quickly. The rule was because it was before the album was released you weren't allowed to take any phones or recording devices in. We opted to leave our phones in the car rather than handing them in.

We went straight through and my sister’s eye was caught on the merch stand. She very nicely bought me a t-shirt as they were a little steep in price for me as I am saving and we took our place in the crowd maybe only 6 or so rows back from the front.

We took it in turns to pee and Sarah got us water and we wait until 8:30pm. I was glad there was no support band because I usually get a bit bored through that bit.

They came on and they were just amazing… and the crowd was great too really nice people. I jumped and danced like I had never danced before.

The night was just so amazing. Lion Man was the highlight, the crowd and the atmosphere went crazy!

It was also the first time I had a enough confidence to take my cardigan off and jump around with my arms in the air and I didn't even care..... which is a huge step for me. 

It was amazing to hear such a good mix of old songs and the new ones sounded fab! I cannot WAIT to get the new album. They sounded amazing and they are just exceptionally talented men!

We tried to get a set list at the end but was unsuccessful! We did however ask if we could have a bag that you got when you handed in your phone as they were super cute and they gave us one each! yay!

Because we weren't allowed phones in the venue we didn't get any pictures of the gig alas. We did take some VERY EXCITABLE snaps in the car though before we left (we were very happy with parking too 2 minutes down the road and £4.50)

I had an absolutely AMAZING NIGHT! MANY HUGE thank yous to my sister for coming and for my T-Shirt made my night it really did!

I CANNOT wait for them to announce their tour I will be first in line for that!

Now today is a dull day and the gym this evening even though I am knackered, but it was more than worth it!
