MCBUSTED!

Last night i went to see Mcbusted in Bournemouth and it was amazing!

On the Mcbusted tour they have a section at the front called the OMFG zone which people can buy tickets for to be extremely close to the stage. These tickets normally cost £110 but last night something amazing happened......I WON OMFG TICKETS! This meant i got to upgrade my tickets so instead of being crushed at the back, I got taken down to the front bit ahhh!!! We were so close to the stage that we could interact with the band - although i embarrassed myself by dancing my heart out only to look up to see James Bourne stood on stage just watching me haha! Awkward!!! I clearly won him over with my amazing dad dancing....

They opened up the night with their single Air Guitar and immediately got the crowd bouncing up and down - i soon discovered how unfit i am! The concert was full with a mixture of Mcfly and Busted songs and then a few Mcbusted songs.There was many entertaining moments such as them all dressing up with wedding dresses for the song 'crashed the wedding', wearing ice hockey tops in a sort of tribute to the retro film Mighty Ducks and then of course the arcade machine - The stage set was a giant working arcade machine in which half way through the concert they had a game of street fighter! Mcbusted have actually broken the world record for the largest working arcade machine.

After alot of dancing, singing, jumping and sweating (from us and mcbusted!) they got to the final songs and ended with Year 3000 and a explosion of streamers falling onto the crowd. This has to be one of the best nights! 

If you get the chance to see mcbusted/mcfly at some point...go!!

Bournemouth Pavilion Theatre

Recently we went to see The Bootleg Beatles at The Pavilion located near Bournemouth seafront. The pavilion is quite an old building but the disabled access they have is brilliant. There is 8 wide space parking spots out the front but if these are not available, most of the car park is flat so parking is never really issue but if you drive a mini bus like I do, i would recommend getting to the Pavilion slightly early in order to get a wide parking spot. The only issue we have with parking is that when everyone leaves the car park most have to drive past the disabled spots making it very difficult to get out the spots due to the amount of traffic. Its even more difficult with a electric ramp as there isn't enough room to lower the ramp with all the cars going past and taxis pulling up right outside the venue.

Once parked up The Pavilion has a ramp next to the main steps making it very accessible to enter the building. Inside there is a large foyer waiting area with a accessible toilet but the only downside is the little coffee shop they have in the foyer has a step down into it making it unaccessible for anyone in a wheelchair but there is a bar located at the the back of the pavilion which is accessible for wheelchairs but please note that there is a large slope you have to go up/down to get to and from the bar which can be a bit of a struggle as its quite steep and has a thick carpet which makes getting a wheelchair across a bit harder but it is doable- again you need a bit of upper arm strength!

What we like about the pavilion is the location of the disabled seating, There is room for about 8 wheelchairs (split over both sides) and room for a carer/a friend etc and these spaces are very roomy which is really good but the best bit is....they are about 6 rows from the front! The views from these seats are really good! We've been to some venues where the disabled seating is up on the balcony with a safety rail blocking our view so its really refreshing to have decent seats!

We had such a good night out and really enjoyed The Bootleg Beatles - I highly recommend seeing them if they play near you! http://www.bootlegbeatles.com/ @BootlegBeatles
