Sunderland mum gets ready for her 16th Take That concert

Beverley Williams, 43, is excited to join thousands of Take That fans next week as the English pop group head to the Stadium of Light, in Monkwearmouth, Sunderland, on Tuesday, June 9, for their Circus tour.

Beverley saw her first Take That concert at the age of 10 after winning tickets through the Sunderland Echo.

She said: “I started going to see Take That when I was 10 thanks to tickets I won through the Echo, and followed them all around the country over the years.

"Sadly, my mam passed away, otherwise she would be coming with me.”

Beverley has been to 15 Take That Concerts over the years and has had the pleasure of going to every single tour since 1993 – travelling from London all the way to Glasgow.

She said: “This will be the first time without my mam since she passed, but I’m carrying the legacy on of mother and daughter by taking my 22-year-old old daughter Kelsey with me on Tuesday.”

Beverley knows every Take That song “word for word”, from the group’s first ever track Take That to their newest single Superstar.

She said: “I’m looking forward to hearing them sing the old school songs such as Never Forget, Love Aint Here Anymore, Babe and my mam’s favourite, a Million Love Songs, which will bring me to tears.”

She added: “The only thing I’ve never managed to do is meet them.”
