Quick Facts
Tamara Williams
I'm Tamara Williams, a Dutch fan living in Wales. This site is where my passion for Robbie Williams meets my love for software development.
How It Started
I grew up in the Netherlands and now live in Wales with my Welsh husband and our son. My journey as a Robbie Williams fan began when I was 13 and heard No Regrets on TMF, the Dutch equivalent of MTV. That moment changed everything. I started buying every album and single, translating lyrics line by line with an English-Dutch dictionary, and covering my bedroom walls with posters. Back then, information was hard to come by, but I searched tirelessly, saving every photo, interview, and article I could find online.
Live Shows & Milestones
When I was 16, I was finally allowed to see Robbie live in Rotterdam. I arrived early, made it to the front row, and was completely swept away by the energy and showmanship. That night cemented something for me: it wasn't just about the music, it was about the feeling. Since then, I’ve seen him live over 40 times, and that spark has never faded. In 2019, after more than two decades of following his career, I finally met him. It was surreal, emotional, and absolutely worth the wait.
Why This Site
In my professional life, I lead a team of software engineers. To better support them, I wanted to understand the tools and processes they use, so I began learning web design and development myself. But I knew I'd only stay motivated if I chose a subject I truly cared about. That's where Robbie came in. This site became my personal project: a way to practise new skills, share what I've learned over the years, and say thank you to the artist who's been a constant presence in my life.
Whether you’re a lifelong fan or just discovering his music, I hope you find something here that informs, inspires, or simply makes you smile.
A Few of My Happy Memories
Dolby Atmos Playback + Q&A (2022)
My friend Helen won a competition and invited me as her guest. During the Q&A, I was able to ask Robbie a question, complimented him on his suit while he sat just a few seats away, and even handed him a personal note. A surreal and unforgettable moment.
No Regrets (2020)
During one of Robbie’s Instagram live sessions, he asked fans to suggest a lyric for his typewriter. I sent in a line, "No Regrets, They Don't Work", and to my surprise, he chose mine. It was a small moment, but incredibly special to be part of something so personal and spontaneous.
Meet & Greet (2019)
After more than 20 years of being a fan, I finally met Robbie in person. It was a dream come true, brief but meaningful. I’ll never forget the feeling of finally getting to say hello and thank you face to face.
Pete Conway (2019)
In 2019, I had the chance to meet Pete Conway, Robbie's dad. It was lovely to meet someone who’s been such a visible and supportive presence in Robbie's life and career.
Flynn Francis (2019)
I met Flynn Francis, one of Robbie's longtime collaborators. He's co-written and produced many tracks, and it was great to meet someone who plays such a key role behind the scenes.
Guy Chambers (2016)
In 2016, I met Guy Chambers, Robbie's main songwriting partner. Their creative partnership has shaped so much of his music, so it was a real honour to meet him in person.
Kraków (2015)
At a show in Kraków, I held up a sign and Robbie saw it! He bowed in my direction as a thank-you. It was such a simple gesture, but it meant the world to me at that moment.
Belfast (2014)
One of my favourite concert photos was taken in Belfast by my husband! It captured the energy of the night perfectly and remains one of my most treasured images.
Take That (2011)
During the Take That reunion tour, I saw Robbie up close for the first time. He walked past the barriers, and it was shown on the big screen. Unfortunately it's very blurry.
Stoke-on-Trent (2006)
In 2006, I visited Stoke-on-Trent, Robbie's hometown, for the first time. It was special to walk the same streets and get a sense of where his story began.
Brussels (2006)
My first photo "with" Robbie was taken in Brussels in 2006. If you look closely (really closely!), you can spot me in the background. It was my first concert outside the Netherlands and felt like a big step as a fan. A small moment, but one I'll always treasure.
