Foreigner for example even if they offered to play for free probably wouldn't be considered as they can and do tour the UK.

I'm confident them team behind this can pull something really good together that will appeal to fans....

surely if say Foreigner played thats means atleast 2K plus would turn up! as they normally play Wolvo Civic which has a 3k capacity so that estimate is down playing there pull....

and if they have multiple stages EVEN little bands can play, but the big bands bring in the fairweather fans to join the AOR anoraks rocking infornt of the little stage!

If HRH pulled out someone like Foreigner or Styx as a headline band it would open the event to a wider audience.
Fingers crossed we get another event for the type of music we like.]]> ATP NoticeboardThu, 05 Jul 2012 04:20:38 +1000 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,899472,899638#msg-899638 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,899472,899638#msg-899638 bazza13 NoticeboardThu, 05 Jul 2012 03:00:56 +1000 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,899472,899596#msg-899596 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,899472,899596#msg-899596

I'd take a guess at Y&T as they tour regularly in the autumn every year....

the Haven park idea does reduce hotel costs for those who need overnight accomadation....but like you James i'd rather not! hahaha...Not out of snobbery but living in the midlands means i've got a hell of a journey to reach these places! Wolvo to Pwhelli is almost 5 hours by train! I can get to Belfast in 40 minutes!

I am sure I am not alone on this, but i really do hate travelling to see gigs. Unfortunately for major artists it is usually Birmingham for me unless Cardiff gets something decent. However I have noticed that some artists are starting to skip there as well. I am quite envious of the fans who live in the midlands when it comes to choice of gigs that is! I live close to the coast and would hate to live anywhere else!

Anyway, I am sure there are plenty of you guys travelling a lot further than me to see a gig. Off to to London tomorrow to see Kiss with a couple of mates.

North Wales-hell of a trek but some beautiful scenery.]]> IanF NoticeboardWed, 04 Jul 2012 07:25:01 +1000 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,899472,899549#msg-899549 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,899472,899549#msg-899549
Hope it doesn't effect Firefest next year. From what Woody seems to know the HRH team appear to have some financial clout if they are aiming at Magnum / Cinderella size bands.

Absolutely no interest in going to a Butlins though.

Would have to go some to even get close to the joy that Firefest brings - my Sunday ticket arrived this morning, thanks guys.]]> jamesrock NoticeboardWed, 04 Jul 2012 07:24:30 +1000 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,899472,899538#msg-899538 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,899472,899538#msg-899538
If this happens at Pwhelli, i can see it dying on it's arse in fact i don't think a seaside location is a smart idea full stop. The HRH team have loads going on so aren't new to organising something like this, but hopefully they are wise enough to consider factors that are important to attracting fans for a AOR genre specific event....also i hope they go for a summer or late spring date.

the bands is only half the battle....

I hope it turns into something good, but i do hope the organisers are aware of how few of us there is and not balance success on the 'unique' success of another similar themed event....

fingers crossed....

Let's see how it unfolds....lets not kill it before it's taken it's first breath.....It could be a big bag of shite or it could be another fantastic festival to enjoy!

I agree Bazza, the melodic rock crowd ain't gonna travel to western wales regardless of who's playing...

I think location and bands are of parmount importance to it been a success....

So Vega and my back garden......sounds good to me, cheap booze too....

A lot depends on if they want to offer accomadation. If they do, i'd presume it'll be haven/pontins/butlins seaside place.

If they don't offer accomadation, then i think a location with good international transport links would be beneficial as it will atract peep's from abroad....

can't imagine many flying to Brum to spend 5 hours with me on a train to western wales!

Brum or Manchester would be wise places i feel.....although ideally located i think I'd have a mental breakdown if it was Rock City......i ay joking.....
