the whole night was fantastic , the venue was excellent and the sound was superb .....doves were awesome and you could see that they were enjoying themselves as much as the crowd ......the whole night was very well organised , from bars , toilets , friendly stewards ...i came down from durham on the afternoon and it was well worth the trip !!! they've been my favourite band for years and i'll now go to watch them anywhere now ...they are that good .

The event was held in a fantastic venue, easy to get into, drinks available, food available, event staff helpful and friendly security present but not in your face. The Doves themselves were amazing, An excellent value for money experience. Every track was fantastic.

This was an incredible set list, and Doves delivered a phenomenal performance. I have been waiting to see them for a long time and they totally blew my expectations out of the water. I loved every minute of it. Was devastated when it finished!! Great venue, gave a "festival" feel. I only hope the filming crew were doing the filming to release the concert on DVD so I have a reminder of the event.

My fourth performance for 2009 for me from the Doves and it was like I aint seen them for ages. The band marched out with big grins ontheir faces and looked like they enjoyed everyminute of it resulting in two oncoures and finishing with the megga retro stomper Space Face. Fantastic performance and a very appreciative crowd. 'Mosh on' Doves!!! Good work...!!!

Doves were great as usual, crowd not so. People in the mosh pit can't have been Doves fans- they weren't even moshing to the music. Put a slight downer on the gig for me. Super Furries were a GREAT warm up.

Not a big fan of the Gmex as a venue as its cold and not great facilities - saying that though the gig was excellent - great mix of old n new stuff. Very strange choice of backing singers but weirdly worked

This was my son's first concert, he and I were blown away by Dove's, who are clearly one of the top live bands in the UK.

I was also very impressed with Delphic, they also have a big future ahead of them, I'm sure.

Absolutely magic gig..........

Great to see The Doves at a small venue. Love their music and well played. Not much interaction with audience tho' not that audience in the Midlands is particularly participating anyway. Short set tho, all over in 1 hr and 15 mins. Then again, it was only £20. Exits at venue could be better...

On a cold night in Lincoln me and the wife saw The Doves at The Engine Shed. Fantastic tunes sounding great live. My particular favourite was 'Pounding' reverberating around the room. Superb gig, would recommend to anyone.

What a lovely summer evening, weather was kind, setting was serene, and company was good.

Doves were so good, every track was perfection, searched for tickets to see them again when I got home.

Shame about the speeding ticket I picked up whilst lost in Northwich.

'Hey Delamere, summer people!' was Jimi Goodwin's greeting to the crowd as he, Jez and Andy took to the stage on a beautiful summer evening in Delamere Forest. The backdrop projection of a passenger jet in flight gave a rather unsubtle clue to the opening number Jetstream. The band were tight and the sound was good as they delivered Snowden, Winter Hill and Rise. Standing about 40' from the stage the view was great and I got some great photos and it was also nice not to crushed in the usual mosh surges. Oops! Spoke to soon! Pounding happened. Thought it was raining but realised it was ale! The crowd came alive jumping up and down and throwing cups of ale left right and centre. Sadly at this point, due to the jumping up an down, I parted company with my camera (a nice little Fujifilm E900 - so if anyone found it...) which went for a leap out of it's case. After sulking for one or two songs I guessed there was no point ruining the night so I got back in the swing of things and thoroughly enjoyed the rest of the night. Ultimately it was the return of Sub Sub with Spaceface that will be my endearing memory of the night. Well done Doves and well done Forestry Commission on yet another excellent night and long may they continue.

Doves at Delamere Forest was a great experience. As you walk towards the concert area and hear the music in the background, the scenary is beautiful and you may be lucky enough to hear cows and sheep serenade.
The concert was great, you did not have to be close to the stage to see them.
