We were excited when we booked our tickets to see FrankMusik live in December. Loved his music since the first time I found “In Step” online around 2 years ago now – absolutely amazing song that had me hooked from the first play and as you probably know, it takes a special kind of song to have someone love it from first play.

Ended up playing it to death and it is my most played on my iTouch with well over 300 plays (he competes with the likes of Michael Jackson, Take That, and tonnes of 80’s classics – yet FrankMusik is the only album I love to listen to (for the last year!).

So when I saw he was playing Oxford there was no chance I would be staying in that night. His support bands were awesome – Gigantor was amazing! Deep bass beats that got even the stiffest in the audience nodding.

Killa Kela was up next – astounding beat boxer from West Sussex had everyone up dancing then standing in awe as he made noises using his mouth that only something electrical should be able to make... outstanding!! Also an amazing singer too!!

Then came on FrankMusik – aka Vince Frank – looking ultra cool in his The Hundred’s t-shirt and crazy hair. Started with Time Will Tell which sounded soooo good and onto When You’re Around – one of my favourites and a hit with the crowd.

Fantastic vocals and incredible accompaniment on his keyboard you see that this guy loves what he does and he does it with such passion and knowledge that it’s an inspiration to listen to.

He played a number of tracks from his incredible Complete Me album (a favourite on my iTouch) In Step, Better Of As Two, Confusion Girl and 3 Little Words ooh and Gotta Boyfriend? He also sang Rihanna’s – Please Don’t Stop The Music and his version of Amy Winehouse’s Rehab which is fantastic.

He then sits down in front of his keyboard to entertain us with a rendition of the Pet Shop Boys hit Its A Sin – absolutely gorgeous!! I love to listen to him belting out a song on his keyboard/piano and so made me happy to hear he released Completely Me, an acoustic remix of Complete Me, you can really hear his mind-blowing abilities and you get to really appreciate that this guy writes his own lyrics and music which he then produces himself.

A real talent amongst so many manufactured bands – he actually deserves the lime light he so rightly should be in.

Michael Jackson Tickets - Refund or Souvenir?!?

REFUND POLICY ANNOUNCED FOR MICHAEL JACKSON THIS IS IT TICKET HOLDERS

Today it was announced that fans that had purchased tickets for the once upcoming Michael Jackson o2 Arena, London, tour are able to receive full refunds from the authorised agents that they purchased them from. This news we were expecting anyway.

But I think, what the fans were not expecting was to be offered the tickets (to a show that is SO DISAPPOINTINGLY :( not happening) with no refund so that you are able to get your hands on a once in a life time, real, Michael Jackson "This Is It" ticket as a sort of memorabilia or souvenir for you to keep to say “hey I managed to nab tickets to see The King of Pop, and even though I was devastated to hear the unbelievable news that he died, I decided to let AEG keep my £75 + £9.00 booking fee so that I could get a little piece of paper telling the world “hello, I am a mug!!””.

Nice try AEG!!!! And I am totally ashamed of you!!! For the thousands of die hard Michael fans out there who are probably still distraught over the death of such an icon, they would relish to just hold the ticket that would have taken them to their king and wouldn’t even realise AEG are purely doing this to try and keep their sticky fingers on the huge amount of money they will be losing out on. 800,000 tickets at £50 - £75 a pop!!!!! Shamone, eh heh, OUCH!!!!

Surely the £9 - £10 booking fee PER TICKET paid by each fan (as I had paid for three tickets that I so excitedly managed to get at the last minute) would cover the cost of printing tickets + postage?

On a personal note – I am totally devastated hearing that Michael had passed away – I think sometimes you forget that these people are human beings and that one day we will end up morning their loss. But for him to die at 50 and before starting or even finishing the tour makes it all so much more painful. I tried tirelessly in the beginning (through o2 which was impossible) to get tickets for myself, my husband and brother then only through MichaelJackson.com did I manage to get 3 tickets for the 10th February – fantastic seats (not front row but close enough for me to be thoroughly excited - Block 402. Row C.) and had been so crazy excited ever since. It just wasn’t meant to be.

My deepest condolences go out to Michaels family and friends and to the thousands of heartbroken fans out there (I am one of them too). Rest in peace Michael! :'(
