From Take That to Ant & Dec

Take That
20/06/2011
Phew what a week!
After a few frantic phone calls and emails earlier in the week, Aubrey was booked to perform at the 5 star St David's Hotel in Cardiff bay for a little known band called 'Take That' on Tuesday 14th June 2011. The band were staying at the hotel during the Cardiff leg of their sell out 'Progress' tour and it was decided that Aubrey would perform at both the pre-show and after show parties.

The party didn't finish until around 2am and just as Aubrey was leaving he was asked to return for another performance the following night! Security in and around the hotel was very tight although the hotel was fully booked with Take That fans who had the pleasure of seeing the band after their show in the bar. The following evening Aubrey didn't leave the bar until gone 3am - which was an early night compared to Jason Orange who didn't leave until 5.30am!

The band showed their appreciation by clapping wildly at the end of Aubrey's set - even after he'd slipped in a Take That song after their management team had asked him not to perform any songs by the band... naughty!




If that wasn't enough excitement on Friday 17th June at the same venue, Aubrey turned up for his regular Friday night performance to find that Simon Cowell's team were in residence filming his new TV show called 'Red or Black'. The team included well known presenters 'Ant & Dec'.

At the end of the evening, one half of the Geordie duo, Ant McPartlin came up to Aubrey and said; "Aubrey, Cheers Pal that was great entertainment!". We've always said that Aubrey's got talent...
