BEING serenaded by four stars of the pop-opera world would make any gig-goer feel special.

For Liz Charlton, this is the memory of her first ever concert, when members of the group La Voce brought her to centre stage at Weymouth Pavilion.

The quartet were performing to an auditorium of nearly 500 people at their show on Friday February 26.

Liz’s fiancé, Martin Eldridge bought tickets for her at Christmas, but never expected Liz to become a star of the show.

He said: “We were sat in the front row at the end and it was all going well.

“Liz was sat next to me and really enjoying it.

“Then one of them came down the front stairs into the audience and spoke to two or three ladies, asking their names and so on.

“Then he started talking to Liz and asked her to come on stage with him.

“She looked at me but I said: go on, you’ll be fine.

“Then she was brought out on stage and the four of them gathered round and serenaded her – and she was going along with them.

“She will be 46 in July and this is the first time she has ever been to a concert.

“It was just unreal.”

During the intermission, people from the audience were coming to speak to Liz to tell her how well she had taken to being centre stage.

At the end of the show, during the quartet’s last song, she even led the auditorium in dancing.

Martin said: “At the end of the song there must have been about 200 people on their feet dancing – she got them going.

“I spoke to one of the ushers at the end and asked if there was any chance we could have their autograph but when she came back, she said they would come out and take a picture with us.”

After the show, in the Pavilion carpark, Liz and Martin had another run in with La Voce – this time they asked them for directions to a local Chinese restaurant.

Martin said: “So I told them just to follow me in my car and we drove them there.

“It was a fantastic show and one we are not going to forget.

“We just hope they hit the big time.”
