V FESTIVAL
Chelmsford, UK [no label, 1CD]
Aug 20-21, 2005

The V Festival in the UK from August 20-21, 2005 showcased 82 acts and had a crowd of more than 100,000 fans. The music festival has been running for 10 years and this year, some of the performers included Oasis, Embrace, Kaiser Chiefs, Jet, The Bravery, Super Furry Animals, Robert Plant, Texas and Franz Ferdinand.

A music fan offered on the internet six CDs’ worth of music and interviews from the festival which was broadcast on FM radio and this disc features Magic Numbers, Doves and Zutons. Still riding high on their self-titled debut album, this is how one fan described the atmosphere at the festival when Magic Numbers played: "So massive is their draw, in fact, that the rest of the site is eerily empty. Their melodies work their charm once more, assuaging the hottest of expectations from the majority who already know the tunes; whilst the unacquainted are turned instant convertees to the cause, walking away humming the catchiest tunes…"

For the Zutons, they are in "perfect form. The moustachioed guitarist is practically foaming at the mouth in his frenzied, writhing concentration, whilst Abi Harding cavorts across the stage to Dave McCabe’s bluesy, growling vocals." As the disc shows, it is the excitement of the concert that is infectious.
