It is Gorgeous Dave’s birthday today .
He didn’t tell me until we had met in Chester
We went to Chester Cathedral to see no less than three Meatloaf tribute singers from the west end singing a selection of his hits by candlelight,
The gothic cathedral was packed, mostly by people my age with bobble hats on, which was all a bit surreal
It was lovely to be out and doing something. I owe him
“Not the best sing to be belting out in a cathedral “ noted Gorgeous Dave
Tomorrow is the village Christmas Fayre and my dear friend Colin is coming over from Liverpool for dinner…
Why do I find the combination of Meatloaf, candlelight and cathedral so incongruous? Still, glad you had a good time. Happy birthday, Dave. xx
ReplyDeleteI was ingongrous .
DeleteDid you post later than usual there is only one comment LOL Good for you to find the time to enjoy !!
ReplyDeleteI well remember those Meatloaf songs and agree it's hard to imagine that music in such a wonderful cathedral.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday to Dave!
Hugs!
The cathedral is stunning! The singing must sound wondrous in that space!
ReplyDeleteWhat a building!!..and the accoustics!!
ReplyDeleteA great place to have any music
Such an impressive venue and candlelight must surely have emphasized/enhanced the somewhat gothic aesthetic of the sad ballads, especially "Heaven Can Wait" and "It's All Coming Back to Me Now". Sounds like a wonderful evening, John dear.
ReplyDeleteI did chuckle a bit picturing an audience in bobble hats singing along. 😊
If that's Gorgeous Dave next to you in the selfie, he truly IS gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteMeat Loaf did have a cathedral-worthy voice -- witness his duet with Luciano Pavarotti, singing Tourna Sorrento, for a benefit concert. Encountered his serious side years ago when he was pursuing a diagnosis for his odd neuro-cardio ailment. Mr. Aday was a man of many parts...
ReplyDeleteI would have loved it too! Great evening and a happy birthday to Dave. The Christmas fair and Colin's visit are lovely things to look forward to.
ReplyDeleteYour title suggested either a song by Meatloaf called Bobble Hat or that Mrs. Trellis went with you to the concert.
ReplyDeleteI remember the first time I heard Two Out of There Ain't Bad and loving it. I haven’t tired of it. What a great time. Meat Loaf was quite a jerk, but I did like his music. Happy birthday to Gorgeous Dave.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like a wonderful and special evening. Tomorrow is also something to look forward to.
ReplyDeleteIt is a lovely building - so glad you enjoyed it
ReplyDeleteDave and his lady have lovely smiling faces - Seems like another happy day for you today John x
ReplyDeleteNot his lady flis , she was photobombing
DeleteOoo- Is he free then ? x
DeleteSounds like a delightful evening out, we need more of those.
ReplyDeleteMeatloaf sang in Bath a few years ago. You could hear him from the street. He was absolutely awful, but I never liked him when he could hit the right notes. Sorry Meatloaf fans.
ReplyDeleteI saw him in concert in Wembley arena in the 1990s he was very good, I later life his rock n roll lifestyle fucked his voice
DeleteI went to You Tube to listen to some of his songs. I had forgotten his hits. Glad you had fun!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a wonderful evening, the acoustics must have been amazing.
ReplyDeleteWe went to see "bat out of hell" a musical made around the songs of Meatloaf. It was fantastic
Meatloaf tribute singers in a cathedral. The mind reels!
ReplyDeleteI bet the acoustics were really good though.
