Review of An Outdoor Orchestral Rendition of Dr Dre: 2001

So Solid Crew warmed us up nicely and the main event was brilliant. Service at the bar was rapid and friendly, which makes a change at big events. Great crowd too.

Dr Dre was rubbish. Main vocalist was out of tune for majority of the songs, could see there was a lack of confidence. Strings players were also not in time with each other.

Review of An Outdoor Orchestral Rendition of Dr Dre: 2001

False advertisement of what was offered. Did not mention it was like a mini festival, it was advertised as a orchestra playing Dr Dre’s 2001 album and it was literally a small band with someone rapping over the top. Myself and my partner thought it was going to be a powerful orchestra playing some of the greatest hip hop, it was not. So Solid Crew, a legendary 90s garage band was set to play, we found this out when we were there and were excited and out of 11 of them 2 turned up and ended up doing 2/3 songs of their own which lasted a minute or two. They then sang/rapped along to other songs which weren’t theres. The tickets and website told us to arrive at 4PM and nothing happened/no one came on till nearly 8PM. We traveled 3 hours to see this and it was such a waste of time and money. There was no programme to explain times it what was going on and when asking staff no one had a clue. We would NOT recommend. Food prices were absolutely ridiculous, £8 for 4 small, cold doughnuts.

Alcohol and food was too dear. There’s a limit and the limit was pushed.
