00:39 Hi there, can you introduce yourselves?
00:41 I'm Jeremy
00:42 And I'm John Seymour
00:44 Brilliant, tell me where we are and what we're doing here
00:46 So we're at Gospel Sunset Festival which is a free festival for everyone in gospel
00:52 It's at Walpole Park
00:53 It's free for three days, tonight, Friday, Saturday and Sunday
00:58 It's in conjunction with the council and the Heritage Trust
01:02 Zone
01:03 Heritage Action Zone
01:05 And we've got loads of bands, lots of tributes
01:08 Tonight we've got Stereotronics and Oasis
01:11 We've got Forever Queen tomorrow, Foo Fighters
01:15 Lots of bands, React to Buam
01:17 Abba's Angels on Sunday
01:18 Abba's Angels, Britpop Revolution, probably about 30 bands and an acoustic stage with all local talent on as well
01:25 We've also got a fun fair and we're supporting local community groups as well
01:28 By offering them a free pitch to promote their services in the community
01:32 This is a very community driven event
01:35 And we're a non-profit so we are looking to donate all our profits to local food banks
01:41 Brilliant, so why did you feel that this was needed?
01:45 We were actually working on a separate project and then that project fell apart
01:50 John and I were very influential in that project and we just needed a new location
01:54 So we already had all the infrastructure and the bands in place
01:57 We just needed a new site and Gospel gave us that home
02:00 Brilliant, and what's the reaction been like tonight?
02:02 Amazing
02:03 We couldn't have asked for any more on an opening night
02:05 Everyone's loving it, it's been a bit hectic already
02:09 Right up to the last minute, I think 15 minutes before we're kind of still getting the power on
02:14 Getting the stage finished and then it all just came together at the last minute
02:17 And everyone's happy, so the show must go on
02:20 Brilliant, well I wish you a successful weekend
