Maroon 5 Take Two

Last summer my rather fabulous friend Lisa organised tickets for me to see Maroon 5 play in London. (See here.)  Unfortunately James couldn't get the time away from work and the venue didn't allow under 18's to attend so Ben and James had to miss that trip.  When I got to chat to Lisa's brother James V. (as he shall now be known throughout this post so as not to be confused with my James) after the concert he was so kind and generous and said I should come again in February with James and Ben.  It seems awesomeness runs in the Valentine family! 

Last night James and I took Ben and Ethan to Colston Hall in Bristol for their first concert, they were so excited to go.  Ben loves rock music and has a guitar that he has been teaching himself to play for a couple of years now.  Whenever I go to a concert he always asks if he can go along too, so it was great to finally have him come.  He really enjoyed James V's guitar solos and head banging with his long hair!  Ethan likes to listen to all kinds of music (no choice really when you live with me!) and he loved seeing a live band play.  Here are my boys waiting for the concert to start, unfortunately Ben was in the middle of declining to pose for a photo when James took it (he is his mother's son!):
 
We all had a great time and the boys loved their first show.  They were also thrilled they got to stay out late and not get home to bed until after midnight... and on a school night too!  The Miles family thank you Lisa and James V.!
