    I'm not saying it isn't enjoyable. She presses play on the CDs and the orchestra play along. There are plenty of people who enjoy sh!t music and sh!t gigs. I'm sure some of the people who stayed until the end at EP enjoyed it but that doesn't make it good. €200 all in for a night at this absolute insanity imo but each to their own!

    What it looked and sounded like done by Pete Tong

    Was just about to post that the whole thing is a rip off of what Pete Tong did in the UK, and it was cheaper there with a far better orchestra and an actual proper dance music DJ.

    To put it in context it's almost the same price as Jeff Mills with the Rte Orchestra in Bord Gais

    Oh sorry I didn't think ****e and enjoyable were the same thing ! Anyone actually looking forward to this beside me ? Rip off or not I wouldn't know a Pete tong song and hardcore dance is a bit repetitive to me you can't beat a sing along tune !

    Is an orchestra not an orchestra ? Didn't realise there was better ones and bad ones is it not the same instruments?

    Is an orchestra not an orchestra? Really? Do I ever need to answer that?

    You're mad to engage. Just unfollow the thread and enjoy the night.

    I did enjoy seeing these at EP, was fairly cool. Wouldn't buy a ticket for a standalone gig myself, but it's a decent show, definitely worth going to if you have a ticket!

    Enjoyed the Pete Tong BBC Proms gig, albeit on telly. Did not enjoy the RTE gig at EP. Sound was poor, and imo, the tracks selected were inferior to the BBC choices. The Heritage orchestra for the Proms ran to a 70 piece set up, as opposed to the RTE concert orchestra's 48 for EP. It was a poor relation on a number of fronts. But maybe this outing will be better. If you're going, hope you enjoy it.

    Yeah John Newman added nothing to the last 2 songs
    But this was a top show by Pete Tong and the orchestra

    Would much prefer to see this rather than Jenny Greene tbh

    Went to this last night. Was average enough and nothing on the Ulster Orchestra version with Seb Fontaine earlier this year.

    Had a vocalist for 90% of the tracks whereas I was hoping that the orchestra would be the focal point.

    There was a large part of the music which clearly wasn't being produced by the orchestra too which was disappointing.
