Fantasylands 24/11/07 - Review by Gaz of UltrasonicWow!! Fantasylands main arena, what can I say!!!
Arrived for sound check having picked-up the utterly amazing vocalist Vicky Fee! Unpacked all my drums etc.. quick natter with Scotty & Michelle of Suburban Delay before sound checking. | 
| More Info |
Off to hotel, very conveniently situated behind the Main Arena backstage area...QUALITY!
(pun intended) Drink & chat with Bassy G, and Rodger from U-S, followed by MC XXX, met Rozalla & Shades Of Rhythm checking in, along with System X's very own DJ Airtight. Watched some of X-Factor in hotel before checking my guests got in ok.
Off into the main arena to catch up with some of the party people, Tiny Bopa & Co, Katey, JamHay, The Zipster, mucho thanks for the Jaffa Cakes, I was so hungry and you had food! was like mana from Heaven! Watched QFX get the arena bouncing! wandered around some more, bumped into MC Boff, always great chatting to him, would like to see him perform at bigger event, each time I see him he grows from strenght to strength, one for the watching!
Back to dressing Room to check the U-S dancers were all ready to go, watched some of Lenny Dee as I was preparing to go onstage, such a great guy, really passionate & has such enthusiasm, respect!
Quick natter with DJ McVey and the K-Klass Dancers at the side of the stage, Madman introduces U-S and onstage we go.....WOW!!!!!!
For 30 mins we give it all we have to well over 8000 people! I have honestly never seen anything like that in my life! Break a stick halfway through the set, and off into the crowd it goes along with some bottles of water, some people down the front looked like they really needed some water, be nice if stewards could monitor this at future events and get some water to these people.
U-S show finishes and we go offstage elated, exhausted and very, very proud, of ourselves, but more importantly, to you guys, it is you guys that make an event!!!!
More chattering & nattering to various people backstage, Brisk, QFX, before packing all my drums away. Back out into the arena for last chance to catch up with the party people before heading back to the hotel.
Checking out I bumped into Bassy G, XXX & a rather tired looking Boony. Said my goodbyes to everyone and headed back home to Ayrshire.
I would like to express our sincerest thanks to everyone involved in organising this event, the Fantazia Crew, Colours, all the event staff.... and to you all..The Hardcore masses that braved the inhospitable Scottish winter to party for 12 hours to make it a night I and the rest of Ultra-Sonic will never forget!!!!
THANKS!!!!
Pete, Gaz, Rodger, Vicky, Eilidh, Lynn & Lauren!
