Also vaguely recognize the three in the front left, they might have posted pics of themselves before but not sure. First might be hornist? As pointed out Thor is middle of the table with the beer. Think I see publicist at the back of the table there on the left, peeking his head out with a thumbs up. Bilbo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post #SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted October 27, 2018 Author Popular Post Share Posted October 27, 2018 Thanks to everyone who attended the meetup dinner yesterday. Despite Williams cancellation pretty much everyone turned up. There were a few who apparently couldn't be seated. I apologize for that. But all things considered I think it worked out quite well. 15 hours ago, Jay said: I think this is the biggest gathering of JWFan ever! I'm almost certain it has to be.

I'm actually still surprised a very successful and very rich musical icon still has the ambition to have tried something like this as the ripe old age of 86. I mean he's a healthy bloke, but transatlantic travel at that age is hard. He must have been gutted when he fell ill. I'd love for him to do it again, even if I wouldn't be able to attend.

Popular Post TownerFan 4,991 Posted October 27, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted October 27, 2018 Guys, a huge THANK YOU to Lee & wife, Stefan, Jay&Marcy for setting all up and giving us a day to remember! It was great to see all of you and meet in real life. I only wish I could spend more time with all of you. I’m sorry we didn’t join for post concert drinks, but me and my girlfriend were up and running since 4am and were brutally tired, our heads were so heavy. We’ll be around London until tomorrow, so feel free to reach out! It was an amazing day, capped off by a thrilling concert performed beautifully. John’s physical absence was truly felt, but his unforgettable music was there. Thank you all for the nice words about my blog too! I plan to boost it with new content soon. Hope to see you in person again, guys! You all rock! Maurizio Jay, Cerebral Cortex, The Illustrious Jerry and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
