Perfection!
It really makes a difference to be standing up cos I had a seat at Manchester an although it sounded great it was hard to get a good view. Also, you can' t enjoy Av's stuff properly sittin down.
At Cardiff I was able to get up close and personal an it was fantastic (took about 30 pics, but will have to get them developed asap and promise to post some if they are good enuf). Stood about 10 back from the stage an got a really stunning view of her acoustic stuff - I'm sure we made eye contact! Yeh, dream on...
Thought Av sounded even better than in Manchester and she looked sooo hot in her all-black outfit. She seemed to really enjoy the gig and did lots of little waves to young fans at the front. It was a bit of a squash and a few people had to be lifted over the barriers by security (one girl was completely spark out, but i'm sure she just fainted in the heat. hope so anyway).
Lot of the crowd had had a skinful cos of the England v Wales soccer game (which England scraped a lucky 2-0 victory in) and Av was lucky to dodge a few missiles (mostly drinks cartons n stuff), but all in all it was good natured and Av was really well received.
It just went too bloody quick again...
Avril am byth (that's Av for ever in Welsh, I think)
