A selection of pictures taken over the last year or so.
I just got home from Manchester and the Brumanch talent time competition...it was great!
Highlights were definitely The Sombreros(The best dance routine I have ever had the complete pleasure of witnessing), Sunny/Suni/Sunni/Sonni/Sonny/Sanny (put a dash though all incorrectly spelled variations =P) The Filipino guy....I forget his name, Laughing at "Pay Up!" and of course the highlight of the day for me -
Jannah playing "I'm not perfect" She also told the peoples in attendance that it was written for "Jay" at which many of them were looking at each other saying "Who's Jay?" I felt special, overwhelmed, shy, embarrassed, proud, grateful and most importantly, I felt love. I felt I could never love a girl like I love her and I would never want to, Jannah alone deserves all I can offer her.
Jannah played the song with a smile on her face and power in her voice. the audience went through a tumult of emotion, from audible "aww's" to happy laughter, people smiled and they all seemed captivated. The song struck me in a way I have never experienced, I was lost for words, thoughts that usually drift around the sea of my mind, were completely engulfed by the ocean of feelings, Jannah's voice started a ripple that turned into the rush of the greatest wave. I was mesmerised even after the song had ended.
Jannah placed 3rd and was beaten out of second by just 1 point, though they could have voted her first or last, it would not have changed the memory she sang into my soul this day.
After the show we headed to Nando's, I had not eaten since around 9am at it was pushing 7pm when we got there. A lot of the other contestants and attendee's had got there first, we waited and ended up with an 8-person table...just for myself, Jannah and Mel. Jannah got hold of Aleana(spelling?) She came with her daughters and we shared food(Though she paid for it all...I felt a little bad about that), Aleana was pretty laid back and easy to talk to, her kids were amusing and they liked hearing Mel's take on how flying heads come to be. We parted ways with them after dinner, Mel, Jannah and I made our way to the train station. After 10mintues of face-pulling, hand signals, dancing and strange facial expressions, my train moved away from the platform and I waved goodbye to Mel and Jannah, till next time I have the pleasure of their company.
