The Upton House Music Festival 2016 kicked off in typical British fashion.
MY first rock concert, the atmosphere was very different to any other show I have seen and if I had to liken it to anything, it would probably be a football match; exciting, rowdy and a little daunting.
There is no denying Harry Enfield and Paul Whitehouse are legends; as proven by the diverse audience in attendance and the name of their highly anticipated tour celebrating 25 years of their successful dual career.
THIS is my third time seeing Jackson: Live in Concert and just as Michael Jackson's music is timeless, this tribute is also.
ENERGETIC, passionate, fun, entertaining, stunning, beautiful, moving; it is rare to use so many adjectives to describe one show, but these amazing Irish beauties brought so much love and life to the stage at the Pavilion.

Although in its fourth year here in Bournemouth it is the first time I have seen the Johnny Cash Roadshow; and as a girl brought up listening to the unique sound of his voice and the equally unique sound of June Carter I was sceptical that such individuality could be imitated.
The production of Oh What a Lovely War by the students of the Arts University Bournemouth in collaboration with the new music group of the BSO; Kokoro, displayed an array of breath-taking talent.
