Southport Weekender, November 2008, Part 1
THE 2008
Southport Weekender was, as ever, a fantastic event yet again. It
run over from 7 November to 9 November. Sadly, this time, the credit
crunch took a bite out of the fun and the bad weather meant very
hard driving conditions for those driving up from the South, which,
for some, caused the event to start later than normal. Those two
factors did spoil the mood on the Friday night, but as Saturday
came, the normal weekender spirit kicked in, and it was back to
business. Even though the VIP bar was not operating, as in previous
years, thanks to the Credit Crunch, this did not put some of the big
names off visiting the event on the Saturday night. The most
interesting thing, we found, was that many of the old faces, who
over the past three to four events had not been able to get tickets,
were back.
One of the regulars,
who could not attend the last two events because tickets had sold
out faster than he could place his booking in said:- "The
credit crunch might be bad for some, but it has let us get the
tickets this time. As quite a few people backed out, last second, it
meant we could get tickets again!" This factor gave the
event a lot more personality and, as a result, you could tell more
attention was being placed on the music. This was, in my view, a
scaled down Southport Weekender, but still well worth going to. Good
music and fantastically friendly people, you cannot ask for more.
We will have a full
report and lots more photos in next week's issue but for now we have
a quick taste of the photo for you to see now, click
