A lot of the interview can be read at MailOnline and here are the fabulous photos.
- Curly Liz sent me me some photos of an advertising board that was on display in a shopping centre in Chelmsford, advertising a forthcoming show at The Civic Centre in Chelmsford.

Don't blame them hey?!

Please send me in your thoughts of Lee's performance and the play as a whole, and if you manage to snap him at the stage door, even better! Chrissi starts us off with her review of the opening night at Windsor (Jan 12). 14th January - I met a very nice guy called Haseeb at the Stage Door of the Royal Albert Hall, who kindly agreed to send me some photos of Lee that he has taken at various events that Lee has attended or performed at. He takes photos of celebrities as a hobby but as they are so good, I have decided to create a dedicated page to show them off, as and when he very generously sends them to me. So for starters, you can see Haseeb's photos taken at the GMTV studios back in early November, when Lee was interviewed with Sharon Corr about the recording of the "All you need is love" single at the Abbey Road Studios. 14th January - Lee was chatting on BBC Breakfast, the day before the opening night of Lord Arthur Savile's Crime at Windsor. You can see the interview here and here are just a handful of screenies, courtesy of Ro and the Timeline.
14th January - I have a nice picture that I managed to take of Lee at the Barbican on the 21st December, when he joined Hayley Westenra on the stage for a duet or two and a couple of other solo songs.
