    Anyone else go tonight?

    First time seeing both acts and been wanting to do it a while now. I couldn't believe some of the things I was seeing and hearing. The atmosphere was tops and the crowd seemed to get really into it.:D

    What a gig! Seasick Steve was amazing! I hope I have the energy of those two when I'm that age.

    I also had not heard Rodrigo Y Gabriela before it, they are very impressive but there's only so much instrumental music I can listen to at once, always found it that way. I think it would have been better if Steve was top billing. It would have actually been very cool if he was and they were before him. Their music was more the kind you hone in on their playing where as his is stomp your foot and sing-a-long, it could have complemented his set more to have them first.

    Wish he played Hobo Low, Treasures and Last Po Man. Cool either way!

    Great gig, spoiled a bit for me by the crowd noise. Steve was the highlight for me as well

    Yeah I could hear the crowd talking at any of the quite bits of RyG, strange and distracting:(

    Steve was brilliant,wished he played Hobo Low,but was happy enough that he played Dark.

    Gemma Hayes was good aswell,R&G are not my cup of tea though and it would've been better if they'd gone on second and Steve headlined.

    Still an enjoyable gig mind!
