Here are some of the wild and emotional moments from The Script at the BIC last night.

 

 

 

1. When support act, Tinie Tempah, sang Earthquake and everyone becomes a mini musical conductor 

Throughout the song, there's several moments when you have to move your hands back and forth like you're conducting the song. Mr Tempah, the last minute change to the line-up in place of Labrinth, only encourages and leads this.

 

 

2. How lead singer, Danny, entered the stage through the audience

Yes, he was flanked by security guards but we're sure we were *this close* to touching his arm as he paraded through the audience to join the stage with luminous flag bearers around him.

3. Every time the lasers shot off the stage and temporarily made everyone take their eyes off Danny

They were bright, beautiful and captivating, creating patterns over our heads and made us gaze in awe at something other than the guys onstage, before our attention was brought back to the music with songs such as Superheroes and For The First Time.

 

4. The first time Danny messed up his perfectly groomed hair

He got so into If You Could See Me Now that he forgot how his hair is his pride and joy and roughed it up just a little too much.

 

5. When the boys tried to convince the audience that Danny really did walk between two buildings for the Man on a Wire video

They didn't really make much eye contact with the audience as they said it. We have seen it and Danny's hands and focus are equally *quite* wobbly.

6. The awkward moment when they brought back the section of the show where they ring someone's ex and sing down the phone at them

On this occasion, a lady called Yasmine was sung to on an audience member's phone and the call lasted until Danny put the phone down after singing to her. We can only imagine her reaction. And the awkward conversation she and her partner will have today about it.

 

7. If you got to kiss Danny as he jumped through the seats upstairs with a GoPro

He tripped at stages, but it was mainly lots of selfies, people declaring their love for him and others wanting to sing with him.

 

8. Everybody sang along to Six Degrees of Separation and thought of a former friend or ex

The song sums up the feelings about how you go from blaming someone else to seeing that you're equally responsible and yet you come away from the song feeling quite calm and less alone.

9. The opening notes to The Man Who Can't Be Moved

Danny spoke just before and said that before the song was released, they were broke and sleeping on each others' sofas. About half-way through the song, they paused as they all looked visibly taken back by the audience's cheers and applause.

 

10. Finally when the confetti cannons went off

It rounded off the evening majestically with song, Hall of Fame, and the boys appeared to be humbled as they bowed, thanked everyone for their support over the years and promised not to leave it two years before they returned to Bournemouth again.
