Rambles of an Impatient Girl: June 2012

We stood impatiently in a queue with half an hour to wait until they opened the doors. Amusing ourselves with the game Claire invented “uh huh!” a game that consists of going uh huh at hot guys that pass you by (yeah we know superficial but who the hell cares) its easily played on the busy streets of Edinburgh where many a hot guy passes by, wouldn’t suggest it in small towns don’t think it would be half as fun.

Tonight the 12^th of June 2012 at the HMV Picture House Edinburgh we would be seeing TYLER HILTON! A man whose sexy voice was introduced to me first by the Show One Tree Hill and when I made Claire watch the show last year she quickly became a fan of both show and of Tyler Hilton. So when we found out about his UK tour there was no way that we weren’t getting tickets to see him. So on March 12^th we ordered our tickets a whole 92 days before the event took place.

The stage pre show

As we stood in the hall taking pictures of the stage we were so close to the stage with a perfect view. Alex Goot was the first act on stage, someone I admit I had never heard of before, his set was fantastic and by the sounds of it the audience agreed with me.

In the small break after Alex Goot came of the stage. We heard a girl behind us turn to her friend and say “When is Chris Keller coming on?” we couldn’t help but laugh and it took everything in me and Claire not to turn around and tell her that Chris Keller was fictional (let’s all let her keep believing that he’s real might break her heart otherwise)

The Incredible Tyler Hilton

Then Tyler Hilton graced the stage just him and his guitar walked up to the mic and said “Hey guys, my name is Tyler, thanks for coming out here tonight” before he started to sing Kicking my heels. It’s when you see him live that you realise that though his recordings are good they do not do him justice he is simply phenomenal live way better that I could have ever imagined. His set was amazing her played Kicking My Heels, Jenny, Ain’t No Fooling Me, You’ll Ask for Me, Prince of Nothing Charming and Loaded Gun is set was short and I could have listened to him all night but I had never been happier to see someone live.

Boyce Avenue where the main event tonight as it was there tour, a band that Claire and I listened to after we had bought tickets for tonight’s gig and very quickly fell in love with their music. There covers of some songs are way better than the originals. When Alejandro, Daniel and Fabian Manzano got on stage it was magical the crowd got wilder (if that was even possible after how they had reacted to Tyler Hilton) and there set was incredible with a nice mixture of their fantastic covers and there amazing original works.

As the night was ending Claire and I went to the back of the room to queue for the meet and greet as promised by Tyler Hilton and I am so glad we did because after being squished for fifteen minutes the people working at HMV Picture House said that there could only be one more minute of meet and greet and I understand that they have to be shut by a particular time but I would have been so disappointed if we didn’t get to meet Tyler fortunately we did and he is the nicest, because of time we couldn’t get a picture with him and he was incredibly apologetic but he wanted to sign as many fans items as he could.

It was an amazing night and Claire had caught a Bouce Avenue Guitar pick, we both got our t-shirts and tickets signed by the one and only Tyler Hilton and went home on a total high after having such an incredible night. Everything was fantastic, wish I could do it all again.
