Well organised event with reasonable warm-up acts and good site facilities. Good venue overall.
I felt that the Sugababes were perhaps out of practice for concerts. For their first song it actually looked as if they were miming. The first part of their set came across very much as if they were in a studio environment rather than a live event. It was also marred by no group introduction. The performance got better as the evening progressed and their final songs were really good.
The outfits worn could have been improved and been a lot more cheerful. They were dressed quite somberly, as if for a memorial concert rather than a happy, fun, summer, upbeat event
Sugababes need to get more live shows in - simple things, like acknowledging which part of the country they are in were missing, suggesting the band is out a practice for this type of performance. Girls Aloud 08 Tangled Up tour was a benchmark which wasn't quite reached on this occasion.

Favourite moment: Final songs were very good and made the event worth coming to. DJ Ironic's dancers were excellent. @
Opening act(s): Alex Roots - hard to believe she is just 16 - a good performance - she seems to be a natural for concerts. DJ Ironic - I felt that his performance very much relied on his dancers to raise it. His best song appeared to be mimed @
