Pet Shop Boys play gig in fan's living room

They wouldn’t normally do this kind of thing, but Pet Shop Boys surprised a fan by playing a gig in her living room.

The duo took a ride to suburbia to swap full houses for a half-empty home as they played a selection of hits.

Lorraine Sands, of Twickenham, south west London, won the private performance in a competition to tie in with this month’s Brit Awards.

The MasterCard Priceless Gig was arranged to celebrate this year’s 30th anniversary of the Brits.

Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe recreated part of their spectacular 'Pandemonium' tour live in the front room, performing hits such as 'West End Girls' and 'It’s A Sin'.

Ms Sands, a project manager, said: “When I opened the front door and saw Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe standing on my doorstep I thought I must be hallucinating.

“I’ve been a massive Pet Shop Boys fan for over 20 years and to have them play a gig right in my front room, for just me and my closest friends, was too good to be true. It was the best day ever.”
