FRENZY!!!

WOW!!!

This was a brilliant concert!
If anyone went, comment!

It was a big Christian concert held in Edinburgh on the 10th of June from 12 noon 'til 10 at night!!! Awesome worshippage was had by all. God was left in no doubt who was Lord that day . (Cough, Hillsong, cough)


David Crowder Band

Bands included the awesome Starfield, the absolutely brilliant David Crowder Band, the beautiful and loud Kendall Payne as well as Christian mainstream such as Delirious, Hillsong United and Tim Hughes. Of course there were others, but I forget their names


Hillsongs United

Getting there was quite weird. I had to catch a national express bus from Carlisle at 04:30 in the morning, my dad drove me there in recorrd time, I was slightly late getting up . I arrived in Edinburgh at 07:30. I then milled around the terminus, lost for a bit until I decided that asking the information desk would be a stellar idea. I then wondered outside after procuring the information needed to speed me on my way to the venue. Caught the airport shuttle bus to Ingliston and then walked for about 15 minutes towards frenzy.

At this point it was about 08:30, with 3 and a bit hours to go until the gates opened to the Christian masses, I had serious time to burn. Luckily there was a small hotel next to the venue, so I went in and asked and got a breakfast. It was about to get better though, as I met a fair few band members there. I met the whole of David Crowder Band (awesome bunch) and their road managers, Shaun the vocalist/bassist from Starfield and Mark the vocalist/guitarist from Verra Cruz. I didn't get pictures with those two though , I forgot to ask. Still I met them and that's all that matters .

So I had eaten my breakfast (which cost an extortionate �11.50, so I ate my fill of "free" grapefruit), and spent about 2 hours waiting outside the gate; whereupon a group of girls befriended me since I was on my own. Yay! Hurry for Americans and South Africans. Lindsey and Susie are two of the girls who have myspace so naturally they're on my profile. w00t.

Ahhhh wish I was back there again!!
