Harbour Festival review

成人快手 Blast reporter Tim Joyce spent part of the weekend at Bristol's Harbour Festival and wrote us this report about some of the highlights.

Bristol鈥檚 annual harbour festival brings together live music, the grandest of sailing ships, and, in 2007 for the first time, the visiting journalists of 成人快手 News and Sport on Tour.

Friday, 27 July was the first day of the 2007 event, and I joined the News and Sport on Tour team in the 成人快手 marquees in Anchor Square, where they were busy showing the public exactly what it鈥檚 like to work for the 成人快手, and how both radio and television programmes are produced.

Members of the public could, under expert supervision, learn how to operate the cameras, scroll the autocue, and for the more daring, there was an opportunity to step in front of the camera and be the face of 成人快手 News.

National news presenter Louise Minchin was on hand to give those reading the news some invaluable advice before they went 鈥渓ive鈥, and Penny Tranter helped prospective meteorologists as they prepared to read the weather.

Toots and the Maytals

Budding sports reporters could join Radio 5 Live鈥檚 Alistair Bruce-Ball and try their hand at commentating on the latest premiership football matches, and a team from 成人快手 interactive showed others how to create their own online news story.

News and Sport on Tour was extremely well attended, and once the 成人快手 marquees had closed their doors on Friday evening, I made my way through the at-Bristol complex to the site of the Amphitheatre stage.

The Harbour Festival really sprang into life as the working week finished; a sea of people gathered in front of the Amphitheatre stage to watch Bristol鈥檚 seminal record-spinner DJ Derek.

Many festival goers brought signs declaring their love for the waist-coated DJ, some simply had bizarre messages. 鈥淒erek! Would you like a raisin?鈥 was one of the more obscure offerings.

Whether or not Derek did indeed want a raisin was a question left unanswered, but the legendary mix-master blended his unique collection of slinky reggae with hearty roots and beats, and gave everyone a summer workout, even as the dark clouds massed behind the stage.

Thankfully the rain contrived to stay away long enough for the crowd to enjoy headline act, reggae pioneers Toots and the Maytals. Silky voiced front-man Frederick 鈥淭oots鈥 Hibbert declared the entire audience were 鈥渢he most important people in reggae鈥, and he and his band were on stage for well over an hour.

Their mix of new material and old classics brought down an even larger crowd than had been in attendance for DJ Derek, and proved a fantastic start to the 2007 Bristol Harbour Festival.
