Review of Boogie By The Sea
The artists were brilliant but the organisation was appalling!
- The doors opened at 4.15pm which was nowhere near enough time to get everyone in to the event in time.
-Boney M were an houry
late with absolutely no explanation (are you able to let me know please)- they were only on stage for 20 mins! I'm sure there is a good reason and I would have understood if I was kept up to date.
- There was not enough time allowed between yhe bands for setting up, meaning all the acts were late and shortened.
- Rubbish selection of drinks at the bar and completely over- priced - £5.75 for a warm can of lager!
- Not enough food outlets meaning unacceptable waits.
- The microphones for the singers were not turned up enough so they were drowned out by the music.
I have been to many festivals and have never had such poor organisation and communication. Such a shame as the bands were excellent, but it will deter me from booking with you in the future

Review of Boogie By The Sea
Queues were ridiculously long for entry. Prices of drinks sky high ... £30 bottle of what should be £4 wine!! 1st act an hour late...!! . Have been to much better festivals that were far better value for money. But had a great time nonetheless.

Review of Boogie By The Sea
Boney M only sang 4 hours, it was pathetic. Soul 2 Soul dragged on for too long and their dj was plain unpleasant. Sound quality was a bit poor - in all acts, there was always a microphone that didn't work well, it was embarrassing. Still, festival was worth it for the great show by Sister Sledge and Billy Ocean. Venue was fine - portaloos were good, and food too, even if queues were too long.
