There will be a couple of MMATSU over the next few days 👍 I’ll be u-loading a video a day over the next week or so, keep watching 👍

It is a great song. Have you seen my video of Paul Henshaw Miriam? It’s a song in two parts, first from the point of view of a little girl, then the second half is from the father. The story is so sad and is about a little girl who was executed during world war 2. ua-cam.com/video/Yz3DYdemPdg/v-deo.htmlsi=sPcAKQ8D38bunzK8

It’s run by the same people as Wroot Rocks which in my view is the best small venue in the country. Everything they do is as magical as gig in a field 👍

@@icanseethestagefromhere Indeed. I've gone from learning about them from a Millie Manders gig in April to getting a ticket for this and already having tickets for Gig in a field and Ay up mi duck 2025, such a passionate team

Thanks for the kind words Roger ❤😊

Thanks for your comment Dave, I did visit the bar on several occasions. I agree with you about the pricing and the choice, and yes I have been to festivals where the queues are a little worse. My comment was an observation and was the only thing I’d heard other people commenting on whilst I was at the festival.

He’s one of my favourite artists always great to see 👍

The video is also from Wroot Rocks where the sound is brilliant, most artists sound good at that venue 👍

Thank you for your kind words 👍 The min arena area opened approx 12 noon (you can arrive slightly before then), the first act was on stage around 1pm with the curfew being 10.30pm. I believe that under 16s are free, they are currently offering advanced tickets for next year at a discounted price 👍

It was a great night 👍

@@icanseethestagefromhere I meant remembering some of the 80's. Unfortunately was not at this gig though x

@kirstyroberts6163 😂😂, I remember the 80s too. 👍

I thoroughly enjoyed the steak and chips, hope they do change it for next year, hope to see you again out on the road 👍

It was a quality lineup on the Friday 👍

Just checked, it clashes! 🙄

@andreasmith8204 that’s a shame

Just watched a wings of Pegasus view of festival “live” vocals, Cindy Lauper verses Dua Lipa at Glastonbury, found it really interesting! Makes you think about what is or isn’t classed as live!

So do I 👍

I did fancy Saturday too, because of Kim Wilde and Bonnie Tyler, but Fridays lineup was quality from start to finish 👍

Hi all, it’s Chris I was the stage manager for Brit Fest and just want to thank you guys for such an honest and great review of your day and all your points and this video I have sent on to the powers that be to make improvements for next year - as you rightly mentioned this was the first year and from my side the festival management did a fantastic job for its first year and have already been booked for next year and your points are genuinely appreciated to improve - please let me know if anyone can add we want to make you guys all happy 🙏

@chrisoconnor-l4h hi Chris, one thing I forgot to mention is how great the changeovers were between bands. Thank you for your comment, for the first year it was a great festival 👍

@@chrisoconnor-l4hI was at Lytham festival the same weekend. They have done lots of things with their VIP area. Last couple of years the “Garden” is the VIP area. Front and left of the stage, but a thin section actually in front of the stage, and standing only in that area. It wasn’t for me but seemed to work well.

I’ve heard Chris mention it before, it’s a great tune 👍

Spot on advice 😂👍

Terrorvision are playing the Fleece in Bristol in September, but I believe it’s sold out.

I believe you are right 👍

That’s not great

You are totally right, I’d failed to spot that rail station at the time I made the video so thank you for that information 👍

I’ve just googled it and it suggests it’s 25 minute walk from the City Centre which is still a reasonable distance, and away from City Centre facilities.

@@icanseethestagefromhere Yeah it's not bad a walk to be honest mate .. Centre of Manchester closer than most people think 🤔

I think it could be a lot better than what it is, but I wouldn’t call it terrible, there’s just nothing round it and the traffic management lets it down. As modern arenas go my favourite one is Leeds AO arena, it’s just a great design in a great location. Do you normally like arenas or do you prefer smaller venues?

Most arenas are the same in respect of food cost. It’s great you had a fantastic night 👍

It’s because the music was that good everyone was listening 👍

You are in for a treat, have a great time 👍

Thank you for sharing that information 👍

Thank you for the information, I’ll probably try that next time 👍

I wasn’t able to make it there on the Saturday, but sounds like they were fun. Thank you for commenting 👍

It was OK, the best thing about it was the sound, the worst thing about it was the car park afterwards. It’s a shame there’s not more round it as it’s nice to have somewhere to go before the doors open. It would have also been nicer if there was a bit more choice of food on the top level as it was a bit awkward having to go all the way to the ground floor. Thank you for taking the time to comment 👍

It was like a security gate and then a wand search after if it detected anything. It was quite quick.

My pleasure 👍

We were in the uppermost block, but sat towards the front of that block so were not at the very back.

Thank you so much 🙏

Thank you for your comment. You were right the prices inside were reasonable for arena prices. I just wish there were more food options on the third floor. Please you had a great time 👍

The reason why we were up in the gods was that the ticket prices were more reasonable up there, I can’t bring myself to pay £150+ for a ticket when that can get you ten gigs at the grassroots level. In terms of was it worth it, I’d say yes, I thoroughly enjoyed the Doobie Brothers, and it was good to see the Eagles, although I’ve got to say that their performance was far too perfect in most of the gig. On balance I’m pleased I was there. 👍

@@icanseethestagefromhere yea, the price of some of those gigs is eye watering. Now I’d rather spend my money locally . Hmm yea, I saw a video that wings of Pegasus did, he did a comparison from two gigs and they were a little too perfect!

@andreasmith8204 I’ve seen the same video. The Doobie Brothers were working really hard. And their sound had an energy about it, where the Eagles just sounded perfect, but seemed to lack that energy about it.

@@icanseethestagefromhere yea, I don’t want the sound to be perfect, although I want it to be good, I want it to be of the moment, and that’s not always perfect. But it’s unique to that performance and I want that uniqueness!

Well Tony, you obviously don’t follow my channel as the majority of my videos are from grassroots music venues and grassroots musicians, ask any of them, and the promotors, and they’ll inform you how much I do to promote grassroots music. I do a show at the end of the month, why not check one of those out before you put such a crass comment. I await your apology.

Here is a link to the last show I did ua-cam.com/video/pz5jB235nqg/v-deo.htmlsi=Nk6sWmE4z9ycQ4tb

@icanseethestagefromhere my point is, why put yourself through an awful experience...overpriced seats where you can barely see who is playing. Overpriced merch, overpriced beer etc. I know where I'd rather be.

@tonymaddison I put myself through that so I could do a venue guide, in the same way as I do venue guides for grassroots venues as well. I like to include everyone, because the more subscribers I get to my channel the more they’ll see how good grassroots artists, and venues are. I don’t like to be narrow minded like some people. As I said please check through the other videos on my channel, yes I’ve done a couple of arenas recently, but the majority of my videos come from small festivals and small venues, so please don’t waste time on me, and on what I’m doing. Concentrate more on what you’re doing, go out and support live music, wherever it’s played and enjoy life, and don’t try and drag people down. 👍

@icanseethestagefromhere so where are the plaudits , as its "a venue guide"?

Thank you for your kind comment. I liked it there, wishing you an amazing time at Nick Mason. 👍

@icanseethestagefromhere - I enjoyed it alot, thanks!

Brilliant, gigs are great 👍

It did get a bit warm in the hall, I always think it’s a sign of a fun gig 👍

I hear what you are saying, it’s just easier to review the festival during daylight as I don’t carry lights, if anything else happens after I’ve made the video I do insert that into the review, a good example of that is my review of the Ey Up Mi Duck Festival.

It was a great gig, and I enjoyed watching you lot 👍

Thank you for commenting 👍

Thank you, it was a good gig, 👍
