Any other board members here for this event tonight?
The line up is amazing; Ruthie Henshall, Ramin Karimloo, Jon Lee, Jodie Prenger, Collabro, Claire Sweeney and ....... Lea Salonga.
Currently waiting outside to get in and can hear the soundcheck and it sounds like it is good to be one wonderful evening.

Disappointed for you that they had to abandon after the first act due to weather conditions

Thanks infofreako. I am gutted it had to be called off. This was going to be one very special evening. To hear Lea and Ruthie sing 'I Still Believe' would have been perfection.
Sadly we didn't even get through the whole of Act One before they called of f the event due to high winds. Poor Ruthie was midway through her first song, 'As If We Never Said Goodbye' and Lea Salonga didn't even get to perform at all.
Of course the organisers were correct to put health and safety first. I am still so disappointed though.
I hope the producers realise what an amazing evening they had planned and restage it again in the future in and indoor venue. Damn you British weather. 😢

Well I was also there and was gutted that it had to be abandoned but understand why. Our biggest problem was getting back to Blackpool where we were staying for the weekend. Not a bus or taxi in sight for nearly an hour in the pouring rain. We've got our money back (less booking fee and postage, thanks Ticketmaster) and an email offering us a discounted price for next years festival but I think it's a bit too early to make that commitment yet.
