Positives
Great organisation
VIP was actually worth it for a change, Entrance, actual area, toilets and system
Easy to cab in and easy cab out
Easy to get a drink and friendly bar staff
It was a stunning day so the outside was great
Loved he locals tent and made sure I supported Benny Atari for his set
Friendly vibe
Negatives
A full F1 set up but hardly untiised, I thought it was moved to the Show Ground as it had no sound restrictions, it defo did this time and reminded me why I don't go to SW4, you had to be near the front otherwise everyone talking was competing with the music sound, even Fitzpatrick mentioned on Twitter how quiet it was - disappointing
God There were a lot of young kids, we were chatting to some girls outside who were 15 !! They had used fake ID....but what can you do ?
We saw lots of casualties from when we arrived, some being kicked out, others who were completely monged by 1500, again defo the younger ones. My pal who is security for the DJ's literally had to pick one lad up from the floor and rush him out, people were just staring at him lying there, again, tough to sort out this issue but these kids certainly like their Ket..
Overall we absolutely loved it, I bought along 2 friends from Oxford and they had a great time. All the sets were great, I saw Andrea Oliver, Eats, some Lawler, Benny Atari, Alan Fitzpatrick and then Hot/Nick....for me it was AF who smashed it, but I must admit Eats did a great set, harder than he normally plays.
You do the Winter Social brilliantly WI, well done, it makes me wonder how you can get the summer one soooooo wrong !! But logistical wise I appreciate it is a lot harder but chatting to people they still haven't forgiven you for the drinks/ awful bar situation last year or VIP.
It will be interesting how it is supported in summer especially as ABODE got their date out before you and tickets have flown out, plus they are the week before, but I really don't think they have the influence or money to get the kind of line up you can offer.
Top class bro
Ps. I saw loads of lads with their tops off as well, it looked crap and they were covered in sweat, not a good look at all, most people were taking the piss......behind their backs of course !!
