Anka, чудные фотки!

What was playing with Take That like? Did you get to chat to the guys?

Danny: Funnily enough, we normally do something when we have support. On our shows we'll always go down and make ourselves well known to the support acts and say, 'Listen. Whatever you guys want, if you wanna come in you can share all our food and drink that we have backstage'.

They did the exact same. We were walking the corridor and Howard came up to say hello, then Jason came up to say hello, then we met Gary, I think he was in the production room. Great guys, really, really nice guys. There's a saying that the bigger the star, the nicer they are and it seems to be that way with them.

What food did they have backstage? Anything that surprised you?

Glen: We went into their dressing room but I didn't see anything. They did have a lovely smell of incense in the air.

Danny: It's themed out because the name of the show is The Circus. So they have all the backstage themed out. They have unicycles and clowns and all sorts of stuff. They've themed out the whole show, which I think is very interesting.

Glen: They've also invited us to karaoke in Dublin after the show. They're going to have a bit of a night out.

Danny: The last thing you want to do after doing two hours worth of singing, well for me anyway, is go out and go singing.

Glen: I did that in Hamburg. I was drunk and I went out and I couldn't sing properly for a week afterwards because I was screaming when I was drunk and I hurt myself.

What are your favourite karaoke tunes? What might you be singing with Take That after the Dublin gig?

Glen: A bit of Frank Sinatra definitely.

Danny: I'm more of comedy. I might get up and do a bit of Ice Ice Baby or a bit of... In the jungle, the lion's jungle... They're my karaoke classics.

No, I think it's The Script.

The chance came when we were invited to Sunderland to show Gary the V-Piano before the first preview gig, scheduled for the night before the tour began. We dutifully set the V-Piano up in a small dressing room and Gary - along with band member Mark Owen and Gary’s protégé Gary Go - powered up the mighty V-Piano. Keys were played, bumps were goosed, glances exchanged and judgements made: Gary ordered the V-Piano to be hauled on stage, replacing the incumbent Yamaha keyboard. Aiding the techs, we carried the V-Piano onto the huge stage and the sound checking began. Fast forward to the present and Gary has used the V-Piano every night on the tour and now wants one for his studio to record with – praise indeed from the songwriter’s songwriter.

Watch out for the DVD along with footage of the acoustic set at Air Studios where the V-Piano will be used in a more intimate environment.

“The umbrellas are possibly the only prop you’ll see again, probably in a theatre show somewhere,” Vaughan laughs. “I was tempted to take a suitcase, but I think I was beaten to them. As for the elephant, it’s already been melted down. It was so iconic, it could never be used again. But it was more environmentally friendly than you would imagine. The elephant was basically a hydraulic lift and aluminium tubes. Despite its size, there was maybe less metal in it than in half a dozen bicycles.”
