What happened to christmas ,what are you pc nutters going to try to ruin next?
I was disappointed on last nights event. I thought that all of the displayes and costumes were absolutely brilliant however once the groups took to the stage that was it, could here any type of song a wast of good choirs -even some christmas carols would have helped here. A good event spoiled.
Great atmosphere just a pity the choirs were drowned out by the drums.The drums did not need the amplifiers it would of been better if the choirs had been provided with them.
Next year please think about providing amplifiers for the acts on stage and not the bands.
Hi great night but would have been good to see the band, who were at the back, but fantastic. thanks mark
