It was Sunday the 27th of September and I was at my Caravan in Bournemouth getting dead excited about going to see my Favourite band Boyzone, who were playing a one off at the BIC. We got to the BIC at about 4:00 we were meeting Leanne (my sisters) Friend there. Anyway we were waiting to go in but because it was early we had to wait in the foyer and this blonde blue Eyed bloke walked out I said to my Sister ' I hope he's not in a band I want him.' Then I changed my mind 'Actually I hope he is I can plaster him all over my wall'.
My sister was more interested in Graham the tour manager as he called himself but I was just staring at Kian. Then I realised he was handing out cards of which I took one and He signed it for me. after the people had walked off he came over to me and my sister and asked 'Why are English girls so shy?'. I stupidly said 'I don't no' I felt so dumb.Then he just stood there doing nothing and I felt sorry for him so I said 'OH come on then I'll have my photo taken with you.'
(the one that is blurred.) He put his arm around me and I was scared but bubbly, My sister who was taking the picture had a new camera that she had never used whist sussing it out she said 'I've never used this camera before, Hang on a moment.' Kian then answered 'Oh don't worry about it, it happens all the time.' the only thing that I was thinking about was his arm is around me. After that he wandered off , and wandered a little to far and this other gorgeous bloke walked out our mouths dropped he them asked ' have you seen this blonde bloke walk out.' and we answered 'That way' pointing to the door.
After that I didn't see them until they came on stage I was screaming like made that when Boyzone came on my voice was none existent.During the show a couple of the boyz came out to watch Boyzone perform I couldn't put my finger on who it was but I do know Kian was there.
After the concert I walked out and saw what I thought was Ronan, I looked twice to realise it was a band member, I also saw another member who I thought was David Beckham. I wondered around getting the members autographs and my photo taken. the only one I did not get I taken with was Bryan I could not get to him. Mean while Leanne and Her friend were talking to Anton and Graham in which they asked my 'who's your fav?' with no hesitation I said 'Kian'. Then we got onto the subject of Bryan looking like David Beckham the word they said were ' don't tell him that he will get a big head.' After about 20 mins talking to them we had to go I was put on a high for the rest of the night and it was day I will never forget.
