BBC Electric Proms: over for another year

Electric-proms-2008

The third annual BBC Electric Proms is done and dusted for another year.  

We didn't go to Liverpool so can't say what the reaction was to Auntie's jambouree heading north for the first time, and unlike in previous years, for various reasons (floods, double bookings, "reallocations", you name it) we were sadly thin on the ground at the gigs.  

As we write up and publish the last of our reviews, we wondered what you made of it all.

Were you in Camden, Liverpool or sat in front of the telly watching it all in a time-delayed world all of your own?  Did you catch Burt Bacharach, Goldfrapp, Oasis, Glasvegas or the Saturday Night Fever night?  Was it as impressive as in previous years?  What were your highlights?  Or did it all simply pass you by on a wash of Concert Orchestra strings?

Comments

For some reason I found it rather underwhelming this year, from what I saw on TV - though the Africa Express night would probably have been the best thing on offer London-wise.

The Streets I thought were good, but the overall bill was unimaginative - Keane and Oasis get enough exposure already, with or without 50-strong choirs.

Did anyone see the Last Shadow Puppets?

it was all a little White and middle class, although nitin sawhney's crowd was very mixed. More interesting acts next year- who really gives a duck about oasis? Also-more VIP lanyards than Glastonbury. The BBC certainly know how to spread the wealth...
