"It was a very educational experience - public speaking, communications for example. The highlight for me was listening to the bands themselves playing and seeing them backstage." Leanna Morgan

"It was a lot of work - making sure bands we knew what bands wanted and sound checks. I really liked planning the event." Emer Downes

"It was really fun, lots of organising in advance. The thing that worked the best was the timing and it ran on a strict schedule. It was an enjoyable night." Stefan Cullinan
