Iv always been a gilbert fan the essential collection is fantastic the last 2 singles no way and I guess Il always love you if you had to physically go to a record shop and buy them they would have been top 10 hits iv seem him in concert as well he’s brilliant
I have always and always will be a fan of Gilbert’s, I’ve seen him in concert hundreds of times over the years and been lucky enough to meet him many times. I have met most of his family too and they are always very welcoming and friendly, no other star comes near to him in being a very nice person.
