Video webchat with Will Young - Would you like to interview him on Mumsnet's behalf?

124 replies

JustineMumsnet · 19/10/2009 12:35

So there's been a bit of discussion about the limitations of our current webchat format and seeing as we've got some video capability now we thought we'd give a video variation a try to see how that works.

We're looking for a couple of mumsnetters to come along to a venue in West London and represent MN by putting forwards Mumsnetters' questions in a video chat with Will Young next Monday (26th October) between 12.30 and 1pm.

We'll be going along with a camera crew who will film the interview which will then be aired on the site at a later date (as an edited clip with a link to a full version).

As a special reward the interviewers will then be invited to attend Will's exclusive live album promotion show and after-show party the following evening (Tuesday). If you're interested let us know here and we'll put your name in the hat.

(ps we're hoping to persuade him to sing too.)

Urgent!! McDreamy and Marslady, we need your contact details asap please, so we can sort out the logistics.

Can you email [email protected]

Thanks

Mcdreamy · 23/10/2009 12:44

I did reply to the original email but I have now emailed again and Geraldine and the email address you have written here - please tell me one of them worked!!!!!!!!

MarsLady · 23/10/2009 13:34

Me too McDreamy. So emailed again in response to the second email.

What will I wear? What will I wear?

Mcdreamy · 23/10/2009 13:35

Yes very important Marslady - just what are you wearing? I have no idea!

NorkyStrokesMice · 23/10/2009 17:09

I was about to start a thread asking the pair of you what you are wearing!

My current plan is skinny jeans, black boots over the top and some kind of knitted top (for the interview).

Tuesday sounds like some kind of industry launch party so might need to dress up for that!

MarsLady · 23/10/2009 17:14

I'm guessing nekkid is not the way to go?

I will probably decide, undecide, redecide and then decide again before falling into a heap and changing my mind again. And as to Tuesday..... I have some gorgeous hot pink heels that need an outfit!

Fififi · 23/10/2009 17:32

You guys remind me of a friend who had to interview Will for the magazine she works for.

He was very amused when she admitted she'd had her hair cut , applied her lippy and dressed extra carefully....it was a PHONE interview!!

NorkyStrokesMice · 23/10/2009 17:48

I discounted turning up naked quite quickly!

Mcdreamy · 23/10/2009 19:41

Oh no - are you two are a pair of glamorous laydees aren't you?

Mcdreamy · 23/10/2009 20:05

Sorry quick confidence crisis there , so what does one wear to an industry launch party?

NorkyStrokesMice · 23/10/2009 21:19

Not even slightly glamorous here - I can confirm that MarsLady will look very foxy though if she turns up in the frock she work to the Xmas party last year!

Mcdreamy · 23/10/2009 21:29

Well Dh has told me to go out and get an outfit but what to get? Are you both up for a spot of lunch afterwards or do you need to dash? Have you had a call yet?

MarsLady · 23/10/2009 23:04

I've had my call. Would love to have a spot of lunch afterwards. Now don't forget we're meeting in Harrow!!!!! they'll never guess I've sent them on a wild goose chase And we're meeting at 1pm.

Mcdreamy · 23/10/2009 23:19

NorkyStrokesMice · 24/10/2009 09:26

Lunch sounds like a good idea!

Did you get asked lots of questions when she called you? When asked what my username was she said "oh you're that one"!

I'm so over excited...

Mcdreamy · 25/10/2009 11:14

Yes we had quite a long chat, she was really nice, very easy to chat with. Can't wait til tomorrow, just checking train times!

MarsLady · 26/10/2009 16:38

I love this man! He is the nicest nicest man. Could've talked for hours. As it was his management had to drag him away. Norky was able to explain a few of the finer points of MN to him though... weren't you Norky?

Have met Norky before but not McDreamy. Love McDreamy. Can't wait to party with them tomorrow.

NorkyStrokesMice · 26/10/2009 16:46

Mars!

I just started a Will lovefest thread.

And I'm not the one who was talking about squeezing watermelons through small orifices to him!

minicorrect · 26/10/2009 19:41

Aw so jealous of you guys! Glad you had a good time and enjoy the do tomorrow. Looking forward to seeing the finished product!

MarsLady · 26/10/2009 19:55

Thank you mini. We did say that it was a shame you couldn't be there.

It was wonderful and one of the best things to happen this year.

minicorrect · 26/10/2009 20:01

Aw that's so lovely to hear. Just so glad you all had a good time. Just make sure you have even more fun tomorrow night swanking it up with the industry luvvies

MarsLady · 26/10/2009 20:09
