ONCE again, Liverpool's
Mathew St Music Festival, the 13th, proved a roaring
success, drawing huge crowds of all ages from the very young
to pensioners and from near and far. This festival is seen
in such high regard that there were bands' representatives
trying to obtain performance places in next year's festival
such as Gubbrockarna, a band from Finland! On Saturday there
were concerts of exceptionally high standards on the 2 Pier
Head Stages given by very experienced bands and new bands
like Merseycats, and Zombie. On Sunday the throngs were
augmented by tourists from the Holland-America Lines' cruise
ship, 'Prinsendam', which anchored in the river throughout
the day in bright sunshine and added presence to the
occasion. There were two arena stages on the Pier Head and
one at Woodside. On Monday at Pier Head a wide range of acts
performed including some big names like Tony Christie.
Not only where bands on the Pier Head, but they also played
at other locations on the City streets, as
well as in countless pubs and clubs, bars and cafes, most noteablly the famous Cavern Club, groups played to the
delight of all. The new Wirral Woodside Stage was a great
success and much appreciated by artists and audiences
alike.
All for free. There were also included many local groups and
artists of very high calibre who gave an excellent account
of themselves, like Merseycats and the Zombies. We were
privileged indeed. The atmosphere everywhere was friendly
and festive, a fact that was commented on repeatedly by
visitors from outside the area. Despite a good supply of
alcohol being available, the mood of the crowd remained good
humoured, and everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves
immensely. The stewards and police, along with St Johns
Ambulance Brigade and other supporting staff deserve praise
for the successful three day show. One visitor from
Birmingham commented on how quickly the litter was collected
and said he was amazed last year that on the morning after
the event "not one toffee paper was left". All
the organisers and performers deserve high praise and
thanks.
