WORK began yesterday to clear up after Guernsey’s biggest ever music festival.

The operation, which will last for three days, follows a successful weekend, despite a relatively low attendance, which saw more than 3,000 people entertained by some of the best bands in the business.

Organisers praised crowds for their support and said the festival was held in the right spirit. ‘We didn’t really have any trouble,’ he said. ‘There were a few arrests. but you have to expect that. We didn’t have any major incidents, which we were thankful for,’ said co-organiser Warren Holt.

Mr Holt said Guernsey Live had been an excellent event but would not commit to running the festival again next year.

    Guernsey Live should cater for a wider audience.
    None of the bands apealed to me (A family woman),
    they were more suited for the young teenagers/early twenties. Maybe next time have some softer bands in the afternoon and the more hard core rock bands in the evening?
