Stage one Saturday 10th March 10:00 pm.

    Let it be stated that I am probably in the minority in disliking Mariza, but I could not warm to her or her music. As an old rocker , I just can't take such schmaltzy backing or such overstated emotion , it doesn't gel for me. Her guitarist is brilliant and she has a good voice, but the whole ethos of her music leaves me squirming inside and I just can't get ' it ". Nevertheless, she performed to large audiences, although I don't think you would have seen many ferals down the front of her shows, her appeal is to a more mainstream audience. I went for a walk around the village after a few minutes of her set.
