i was referring to the bands not the crowd! 800 is excellent. brings a few more £s into our coffers i guess?
tickets were what, £35? so that's £28,000 in ticket sales.
Squeeze and 10cc wouldn't have come cheap. No idea if local bands would have been paid, but most likely yes. Set up of stage and security probably not cheap either.
Honestly, if they broke even on it, that would have been made it a huge success - and something to build on for the next time - but I very much doubt there was a profit.
