You'll hardly recognise us in our new extravaganza
Hi Shane here,
WITH the final countdown to 2001 tonight, our thoughts turn to the year
ahead.
The highlight is definitely going to be our record ELEVEN shows at The Point
in March. And we are going to give you a show to remember.
Just when you think you know Westlife, I can tell you that you ain't seen
nothin' yet!
I don't want to give too much away and spoil the surprise, but I warn you
that you'll hardly recognise us.
If you think that it's going to be a low-key performance packed with
ballads, then you're definitely going to be left wide-eyed.
Of course there'll be the ballads and all the hits, but there's more, much
more going on in this show.
I am just so excited about showing the fans in Ireland what we're really
capable of.
While we have been busy working on our Coast To Coast album and hopping all
around the world in recent months, we've also found the time to create our
new live extravaganza.
It's been a lot of fun putting it together and it's almost complete. There
are only a few pieces in the jigsaw that have yet to go into place.
So far, we've got our backing band lined up. We have chosen a producer to
oversee the big production and a whole team of people have been selected to
make sure that everything is right on the night...every night.
The only aspect of the show that has yet to be designed and manufactured is
the stage clothes.We plan to have lots of costume changes in the fast moving
show to keep on changing the atmosphere and building the excitement levels.
This will be a sound and light spectacular packed with colour and special
effects. I am totally honest when I tell you that no expense is going to be
spared to ensure that our fans have a fantastic expenence.
The show will be performed amidst an amazing set. When your see the stage
set up you are going to be really excited and impressed. Whenever I think
about it I get excited- it really is amazing, trust me.
So forget about the stools and the slow dance movements - we are going to be
really rocking it up on stage and there'll be plenty of up-tempo numbers to
send the temperature soaring.
The countdown begins right now to March at the Point - all the lads in
Westlife just can't wait and we know you're looking forward to it too.
SO what else is lined up for Westlife in the New Year?
Well, we'll be touring all over the world, including Asia, South America and
South Africa. We'll be spending a fair bit of time in America as well to
build on our success there.
I guess I'd better enjoy my time off right now because there'll be no rest
once we get going in 2001. But who's complaining.
On behalf of all the lads in Westlife, I wish you a very happy New Year -
and maybe we'll meet along the way.
Another fab night
BEFORE the March concerts we'll get the chance to perform in Ireland at the
Childllne concert in the Point on January 26.
That's going to be a fantastic night as lots and lots of acts are flying in
to take part It'll be a bit like the Smash Hits all over again.
The bill also includes our pal Samantha Mumba, Mel C, Steve Gately, Keith
and Shane, Atomic Kitten, Billie Piper, Al, Girl Thing, Louise and Reel.
