Dear lohn,
& ffl How are you? It wasgreat to getyour letter.You askedme
if I had everbeento a live musicperfonnance. Well,I actually went
to a pop conceft on Saturday- it wasgreat!

k fr rtaryed the singerAlsou - maybeyou've heard of her? The

ticketsweret50 eachbut it was well wofth it!

@ fhere was a wonderful atmosphere- the cheeful fans shouted

enthusiasticallyas she came onto the stage.She looked fantastic
thanks to the elaboratelighting and her trendy wardrobe.Her voice
soundedangelic. There was a vaied programme, with songsfrom
all of her albums and plenty of oppoftunity to danceand sing along!

@n Ho*"r"r, I was a little disappointedthat the concertfinished so

early.Even thepeople around me werecomplainingthat the concetl
was too shortfor theprice of the ticket.

@x Anyway, we still had a great eveningand came away with the

best impression.If you everget the chance to seeAlsou in concert,
you should definitely go. Have you heard her new album? Wite
soon snd tell me what vou think of it.
