That wasn’t the night we were expecting to have! We left Bloc Party early to get to Shangri La in time for 12.30 am where Sarah and the nice people who work there had arranged for us to get backstage at Club Dada for a secret Lady Gaga gig.

Having dashed through thick mud to get there, we then waited an hour and half for the lady herself to arrive. That was partly because her Land Rover got stuck in the mud when it went a bit too far off road - and had to be pulled back out by 10 burly men. The secret gig was a well kept secret - the stage area could only hold 2000 people and we reckon about 1500 turned up in the end. They weren’t kidding when they said it was a small venue - backstage was practically on the stage!

Behind the scenes there was a lot of rushing about and when her people arrived things got bit frantic. At one stage security told us we had to evacuate the area completely and no one was sure what was going on. Eventually we got a stage-side view of the gig which was amazing. We grabbed a few photos on our mobiles.

It wasn’t a long set, but even so Lady Gaga managed to squeeze in a change of outfit. She announced on stage she wasn’t allowed a costume change so she was just going to strip off - but Lady Gaga doesn’t get undressed like normal people. She started by making her metallic cone bra explode, leaning backwards to avoid the flying sparks. We saw the remnants being carried off stage. She was left wearing a sparkly bra and shiny oversized Bridget Jones knickers which was much more glamourous than it sounds! She finished the gig with Pokerface which had the crowd dancing and cheering.

A top night, but at the end of it we were left wondering “Did that really just happen?”!!
