Sunday 5 June 2011

Published piece in the Salisbury Journal 2010


Entry was free for every gig and many bands played long into the night. It was great to see everybody having such a great time. Everywhere was packed, full of happy, and slightly merry, people simply having fun.
Spire FM DJ Dave Woollatt said: “Salisbury Live provides a unique way to present and highlight new talent to a much wider audience, a great experience, not just for the bands but for everybody who goes along.”
The best thing about the weekend was the sheer variety of styles on offer. There was something for everyone. The best gig for me came from Achilles, performing as part of the Endorse It showcase (see separate review).
Salisbury Live came to an end on Sunday at the City Hall, which played host to young aspiring singer/songwriters as well as local heavyweights, Big Num and Drowned by Oceans.
I bumped into Salisbury Live organiser and all round legend, Colin Holton, who commented: “The weekend has been brilliant, complete mayhem, but in a good way,”
A fantastic weekend all round, and only 365 days to the next one.
