Alright I've got a confession to make - although I have always enjoyed Harry's music, I've never been what you would call an avid fan - until now that is !  I'm from England but am living and working in Paris for a year as part of my uni course.  Anyway, I happened to find out that Harry was playing in Paris and set about trying to get a ticket.  After a lot of hard work I managed to get the very last ticket that was left, the day before the concert!

I was amazed to find out when I got there that my seat was on the eighth row and as the theatre was only very small I had a wonderful view.  As soon as Harry walked on the stage and started to sing I was enthralled.  I fell in love with this man's voice there and then!  I could not believe that one person could have so much talent and what made it all the more amazing was the fact that he genuinely seemed to really be enjoying himself and in love with his music.  To see someone perform with such a passion was a real pleasure.

At one point Harry even had a go at talking in french to tell the crowd that Paris was one of his favourite cities, and said that he never really concentrated on french lessons at school as he was always thinking about music!

Throughout the whole concert I was constantly in a daze at just how amazing his performance was.  Highlights had to be the beautiful "To See You" and my favourite off the album, the wonderful "Learn to Love". But as always the best was saved till last for the encore when Harry sang "It Had to Be You".  An absolute classic!

I'm sure you will all be pleased to know that the whole performance was recorded, so hopefully there will be a video out some time in the near future!  I certainly hope so as it was a night that I will never forget and it would be wonderful to relive the whole experience again!

Having seen Harry live, I am now a fan for life and will certainly be first in line for tickets when he next comes to France or England!  To sum up the night, there is only really one word that can describe it ... MAGICAL!
