Fantastic gig even though it rained, started late and we didn't see or hear Dawn Penn.

Review of Giants Of UK Reggae

Well organised, plenty of loo's and the security team were very helpful and respectful (especially at the end of the evening letting walkers down the hill before allowing the cars out). Maxi was amazing as always however with one artist not arriving his slot was obviously later than planned. Felt he was in full flow and then was told to end (10pm was clearly the areas cut off time) without any warning, no natural come down left us all feeling a tad shortchanged.

Maxi priest cut short and no show by dawn penn, no explanation and felt very short changed by organisers. Not good but aswad & maxi good when on stage

Review of Giants Of UK Reggae

We paid for VIP tickets - this was completely pointless.

Firstly you were meant to open at 5 you didn't, leaving queues outside with no toilets open, when let in the first toilet I visited was - lets say well used, and had no toilet roll and was a mess, how can this be when you've just opened? I then found loos in the VIP area, these were also crap porta loos, the lady on security did her best to discourage you from using these, I advised her i'd paid for VIP tickets and I was using them as the others were a disgrace.

In the VIP tent there were no seats and plenty of people with walking difficulties that needed them.

At the end of the event Maxi Priest seemed to be taken off mid flow, and there was no Dawn Penn who we had also paid to see, so you short changed us - we tried to use the loo again and the snotty security lady said no, they were closed.

So all in all - the music that did show up was ace, everything else was very poor.

The event was great but it just finished very abruptly with Maxi Priest just having to stop and Dawn Penn hadn't performed with no explanation. This should have been courstey to say as it was music one minute then nothing. People were asking but nothing.

Great night despite the rain. Aswad and Maxi Priest were awesome. Unfortunately, didn't get to see Dawn Penn - no, no, no! I would appreciate some feedback explaining why she never appeared as advertised.

Thank you.

Review of Acropolis at Tutbury Castle

Amazing, staff and security were great, amazing music, could maybe of done with a few more toilets and a two diff bar areas just to spread the amount of people out in one area. Everyone there was so friendly and we met some amazing people listening to great music ! Fabulous !

Review of Giants Of UK Reggae

I thought there could have been a better choice of food, as a vegetarian it was chips or chips .
Most importantly the compère should have ended the event with an announcement about Dawn Penns no show and ended it on a high with Maxi Priest. As it was you just switched of the lights and people just started to drift off. A total damp squib at the end of a great night. Shame , could have been handled so much better
