One word fantastic
A guest for Barry Manilow · Sat, 11 Jun 2016
A 27 year fan of Mr Manilow, a fab entertainer as usual, a lovely crowd.
Not keen on the arena seeing that it is a new one, my hubby and mum were sat in block 104, seat 1 and 2 and it was like a wind tunnel. The sound is definitely not as good as other arenas. And getting of the car park is a laugh, to be told on arriving it could take one hour and a half to get of is ridiculous, but we were pleased when we parked on level 1, yet coming of we had to go up to level 2 and then back down to level 1. Finding the arena is a nightmare to with all be one way. At MEN Wednesday, that's a large arena, it's quick to get of. Won't be coming back to the arena again.A guest for Neil Diamond · Tue, 21 Jul 2015

The concert was amazing, was so happy I got to hear permanent vacation live. Even when Michael fell he carried on straight away they were so amazing. Wish I could watch it again, Hey Violet were amazing as well.

Best night of my life couldn't of asked for a ester show even when Michael fell and you could see the pain in his face he carried on and I'm proud of him they've come so far in such a short space of time and I'm prod there accents still makes me melt when they talk there genuine lads who do it for us the and and anyone who has the cave to see this show should definitely to it as the energy they put in to it (even with a sprained ankle) is amazing and there support hey violet we're amazing too despite previous rumours so if you have the chance please buy a tickets as it means the world to them and you literally leave the Arran rocking out with your socks out. There's nothing bad I can say as it was the best show I've ever seen performed by them

Terrific concert many thanks.
Can anyone remind me the name of the close harmony group that sang with the orchestra?
