Rezerection Event 2
Royal Highland Showground – Ingliston,
Edinburgh
What a drive…. 5 hours of maniac’s on the A1,
miles of single carriageway and 2 guest
appearances on Scotland’s speeding camera’s….
But boy was it worth it!
Yet again Scotland’s favourite prove that
outdoor events are their ‘pierre de la
resistance’. Security are always very polite and
very helpful at Rezerection events, and tonight
was no exception, although discrete they are
always there when needed, full marks must go to
their attitude from arrival to finish.
The atmosphere at this event was something to be
experienced, the Scot’s really do know how to
party. Although this event is licensed for
16,500 people Rezerection feel that full
capacity leaves limited space for people to
dance, therefore they restrict ticket sales to
12,500 and most outlets sold out about 2 weeks
in advance. The buzz created by the crowd was
electric, everyone seemed to be having a good
one. My night could not have been better and was
made even more special as a very close friend of
mine accompanied me that night so a big shout to
Paul Plumbinshki who was at his first big event
and thought this was the best night he had ever
had.
The line-up boasted some of the world’s greatest
DJ’s and producers, including Lenny Dee, Richie
Hawtin and Robert Leiner, to name just a few.
PA’s were supplied by The Ruffneck Alliance, The
Source, Human Resource, the list goes on, and
everyone I saw that night performed to an
extremely high and commendable standard. The
only problem I had was choosing which tent to be
in, two massive arenas offering a wide selection
of music proving the promoters cater for
versatility.
The flyer advertised an impressive list of
attractions, and so far as I could see
everything was there, and more. Bungee jumping
for those of you stupid enough to jump from the
sky and pay a ridiculous price for doing so,
excellent production including a sound system
that seemed much better than previous
Rezerection events. The whole show was very
professional and the customer had obviously been
thought of all along, even down to matting being
laid on all entrances to tents and anywhere it
seemed necessary.
It’s nice to see that large companies such as
Schuh and Tizer, have had the intelligence to
see these kind of events as an excellent way of
advertising, catering for a growing market, and
giving support for the youth of today. Nice one,
it’s a shame the same doesn’t happen in England,
and proves why Scotland have lead the way this
year with large outdoor events.
So there you have it, a night with very few
complaints, none worth mentioning.
