Victoria Hall Keighley Keighley reviews by real event-goers

Review of SOUND | Space | Skylights | The Utopiates + Doves DJ Afterparty

Apologies to any disappointed attendees on the night, i myself have a good reputation for putting on good quality events across West Yorkshire, mainly Leeds .

Against my better wishes extra team members became involved, undermining myself, then a venue NOT booked by me, were out to deliberately sabatage our efforts at every turn. Hence poor stage & visuals, even though we paid for an external team to handle this side, bottomline it fell apart on the day during preps too.

Intended for Josh Warrington to be back stage (VIP area), alongside some other guests& artiste who were already in there. We lost out hugely. In my 17 years of presenting i've never taken any event to my own town apart from Mad Friday Christmas 2023. Learnt from this financially & within in house. Also as the motto goes if you want anything doing PROPERLY, do it yourself.

I myself alongside Daz (partner on Mad Friday) are intending to do some outstanding events across the region. I've got my own team for this now. WE PROMISE TO PROVIDE FREE TICKETS TO YOUR PARTY OF PEOPLE WHO WERE LET DOWN amongst other related perks. By way of compensation. Into any event of your choosing. Again i apologise on behalf of those involved.

Thank You,

Michael Reilly

Great night organised by Ryan, Daz and Mickey. Hopefully more to come!

Paid for VIP backstage/ drinks included/ mingle with the artists package. This was a side room with a trestle table and two guys handing out cans which eventually ran out! No backstage access and no mingling with any of the artists!
The venue was stated as sold out but the venue was either too big or very few tickets sold as there seemed to be not a very big crowd there at all which led to a very poor atmosphere for the bands. Can't comment on the after party/DJ set as we left. Overall, apart from the music, a very disappointing night.

not set properly for a live music venue, lighting was awful, sound was good but stage and room lighting sploilt the vibe, felt like a council school hall, not sold out as was advertised
