Fireworks were outstanding tonight

Agreed, thought they were excellent and seemed to be longer and better than previous years. I'd say some of them could have been heard out in Tramore, 'twas like a bad day in Syria!

Overall, really enjoyed Spraoi this year.

Yeah, I think the fireworks were longer than usual due to it being the 20th Anniversary. I really enjoyed it this year too, great weather for it also! Well done to everyone involved!

I could see the fireworks over the tops of the houses, I thought they were great. It sounded like there were a million people oooing and ahing on the quay from where I was.

Yeah, and there was a great round of applause at the end too. People were really impressed!

Fireworks were fantastic. Other highlights for me; Torann were their usual brilliant selves, Mr Marcus was enjoyable for adults and kids and couldn't really fault any of the numerous bands I saw on plaza. Thought Mad Hatters were good too, nice the way the brought the kids into show.

Meself and Mrs Tippwarrior spent Sunday in Waterford. Had a great day some good acts around the differant stages. Good music on the main stage topped off by The Sawdoctors and the fireworks display was brilliant lasted for 12 minutes. Well done Spraoi and Waterford.
One thing I noticed actually I tell a lie Mrs Tippwarrior noticed reading through the programme one of the child welfare officers was called Tara Buggy

really enjoyed SPRAOI 2012. Well Done to all involved in organising it!

just one suggestion! MORE PORTALOOS! 4 loos @ the SawDoctors gig for several thousand people! The queues could be seen from space.

other than that, Brilliant weekend!

Made the annual trip down from Galway to Spraoi again this year. Myself and the OH made it our first holiday way back in 2004, and have been enjoying it ever since. It was excellent this year. The fireworks were definitely the best I've ever seen.

This time was special for us though (planned for a while), as I got down on one knee & proposed to my lady up on Doneraile on the Sat evening. Thankfully the weather stayed clear for us.

So in many regards it was an unforgettable weekend, so thank you Waterford & thanks to all involved for hosting such a fantastic event.

Looking forward to next year
