Lawson Concert :D

Hello again! :)

So this post has been a long time coming, but I went to see Lawson 2 weeks ago (20/10/13) at the Ulster Hall in Belfast and honestly it was an AMAZING concert! They were just as I expected them to be..this was my 3rd time seeing them, but my 1st time seeing them at their own headline tour! :D I thought I would share the experience with you all, it is just too good to not! ;)

So first off, this is what I wore to the concert. I thought it wasn't too dressy and the plimsolls added a touch of casual to the overall finish of the outfit :)

For my make up I went fairly simple, with a bold lip. I wanted to keep it relatively easy as I was going to be standing in a queue for a long time so I didn't want to be checking to fix my make up a lot.

 Me and my sister got to the venue at around half 6, and the doors opened at 7pm. The queue was HUGE since it was a standing concert, however we were seated so when we got to a corner the security man said that we could go straight to the front as we had seats (wasted time in the queue!) Anyway we skipped to the front and got in OK. We got to the merch stand and my sister bought a t-shirt. Then we made our way to our seats. As it was our first time in this venue we had a little bit of trouble finding our seats and it didn't help that the doors were unmarked so we didn't know if we were at the right place or not! After about 10 minutes wandering the halls we found our door and we were seated at around 7:40pm.

The first support act came on and it was Paighton (who, in all honesty, I had never heard of! :S ) however, their songs were still catchy and I liked them a lot.

This is Paighton, sorry I don't know their names! :/

 After Paighton performed there was about 10 minute break and then Room 94 came on as the next support act. I actually really love Room 94 (not because I fancy the drummer or anything.. ;) haha ) but I have loved them since before this, but now after seeing them live I realised that they are amazing!! They were so chilled and very funny! It was an amazing atmosphere and they really got the crowd going :)

Yeah..I do not fancy him... ;P

 They did their set (which included Kiss You by One Direction!) and then at around 9:20pm Lawson came on!! I think my heart jumped out of my body as soon as I saw them..they are seriously perfect!! :D

I was lucky enough to be able to see behind the curtain before it dropped and got a sneak peak at them before anyone else ;) oh yeah! :P

When they began to sing I was in awe. I couldn't believe how good they were. Although I had seen them before, I was more aware of their talent this time for some reason? The set list was as follows (and if I forget something I am sorry but this is from memory!) ; 

• Juliet
• Make It Happen
• Taking Over Me
• Gone
• Love Locked Out (new song)
• Die For You
• Learn To Love Again
• Parachute (new song)
• The Girl I Knew (sang by Andy, acoustically)
• Stolen (and Waterfall, acoustically)
• When She Was Mine
• This Is What It Feels Like (Cover)
• Brokenhearted
• Everywhere You Go
• Standing In The Dark

Now that I have said how flipping amazing the show was, here are some pictures;

I don't know why I love this picture..?

The end :(

 Now for the best part of the night..and probably the best part of MY EXISTENCE...I CAUGHT ANDY BROWN'S GUITAR PICK!!!!

Ok so here is how it happened..

The concert was over, Adam was throwing his drum sticks into the standing area, Joel and Ryan were also throwing their guitar picks to the standers. Me and my sister just said to each other 'aww we aren't gonna get anything' so we stand up and just as we do, Andy looks up to our balcony area and we all scream and wave. He looks up to me and my sister and throws something towards us. Everyone starts getting up and looking for whatever he threw, when I look to my sisters feet and there it was...HIS GUITAR PICK! It was like fate we were meant to get it! I picked up and started jumping up and down and waving it about! (I probably looked like a crazy person!) but in that moment I didn't care! I looked to the stage and Joel was looking up to me as I was screaming my head off and I waved the pick at him and he laughed and gave me a thumbs up!! :D I ran out to my car and cried (a little bit..) and that was the end of my night!

Here is the signed guitar pick in MY HAND!

How beautiful is that..I have Andy Browns DNA..I could clone him (if I knew how..) 

The concert is right up there as one of the best I ever been to (and that has been a lot!) Here is a link to my Youtube where you can see the videos that I took of the concert ;
