An Audience With Union J

On Saturday, the day had finally arrived. My time to meet Union J again, was here. We got to the venue at around 4:30pm and we were around the 50th in the queue. We waited until 6pm when we finally got let in. As we were waiting to go in, when we finally reached the gate, JJ was behind the door to get in, and he was stood outside with security. We got inside, and we were fourth row, but we could still see them well. When we were waiting for the concert to start, George ran through, however I didn't see him, I just heard everyone talking/screaming. The concert finally started at around 7pm. I thoroughly enjoyed each song they performed, and tried not to record all their songs. I only recorded a few of the songs, mainly the ones I hadn't seen them perform live before such as their new song follow you, and their cover of marvin gaye. At the end of the concert they all went to the edge of the stage, and Jaymi was in front of us, everyone pushed forward, and I managed to hold onto his hand twice, only for a few seconds though!

As we were waiting for the M&G George came through the door, and hugged someone stood next to the door. When I had finally reached the front of the line, and it was my turn, and my heart was racing!! I gave security my phone, so they could take pictures whilst I was meeting them. Josh was first, and he came over to me and gave me a hug, he noticed that I had a letter in my hand and asked if it was for them. He took the letter from me, and I told him that it was from a friend in Venezuela, and JJ overheard, and they both said 'wow'. George heard them replying to me and said 'what was that?' and JJ said 'It's from a friend from Venezuela'. I then went on to JJ, and gave him a huge hug. As I was coming out of the hug from JJ, George opened his arms for me. So I walked over to George and gave him a hug. George then said 'ready for a photo' and pulled me to the side, both of us keeping hold of each others waist. They then took the photo, and I was directed to the other side of the room where I was given my goody bag, which had my t-shirt, signed photo and wristband in a tote bag.

This was an amazing night, and I enjoyed it loads!! I hope they do their next tour like this!!!
