I have been a David Cassidy fan since the 70's and have always followed any news however small even when he disappeared from us for a while. I went to see him in 1985 in Edinburgh , and at that time I was expecting my daughter but I was still determined to be there.

I went to see him in Nov 2001 in Glasgow. It was fantastic. My friend and I were transported back to being 16 again.

In April 2002 I got tickets for the front row in both Edinburgh and Glasgow. I could not wait. Two weeks before the shows there was a local radio competition to win a meet and greet. I had to be in it. I phoned up and I got through the first bit and won the tickets and CD. I gave them back the tickets to re-draw but yes I was through to the draw.

By the Monday morning of the draw I had convinced myself I could not win. The phone rang and oh my god I had won. I was manic. I hugged everyone at work. I was crazy for the next 2 weeks flitting from tears to incredible happiness. I had to have a new outfit. At the concert in Glasgow I could not believe how good it was and how close I would be the next night. I was ill with nerves the next day. I felt sick and tearful I did not think I could do it.

When we got there I could not believe it. We waited forever and I was going to have a heart attack my heart was beating so fast when I saw him ouside the dressing room.

We went in and I could hardly tell him my name. He signed my CD I brought home from Las Vegas and we talked a bit about the Rat Pack. We had our photo taken and then I asked David if I could have a hug for my birthday which was in 2 days time. He said of course you can darling. I just melted into it as if I belonged there. I was thinking I have waited 30 years to get here. It was perfect he was so nice. I asked him if he would sing could it be forever for me and he said again of course darling. I could not believe it. When he moved to right in front of me when he sang it I thought I would die. It really was my perfect dream come true and I am even more hooked than before. My friend even got David to write a birthday card for me ,the best ever.

An experience I will never, never forget all my life. Isobel Mackinnon.
