00:00Hi, I'm digital reporter Amy Seddon and yesterday I had the pleasure to attend Radio 2 in the
00:06Park in Preston. I spoke to some people there about how they were finding the event so far,
00:11so take a look at what they had to say.
00:13How are you enjoying Radio 2 in the Park?
00:15Yeah, it's really good.
00:16Yeah, it's really good.
00:17Who's been your favourite so far?
00:20Probably Joe Wiley and Ramesh.
00:24And who are you looking forward to seeing? Sting?
00:27Yeah, Sting and Ramesh who we've already seen.
00:29Yeah, are you big Radio 2 fans?
00:31Yes.
00:32Yeah, I listen to it quite a lot.
00:33Have you been to one of these before?
00:35No, it's our first time.
00:36So why have you gone for the first time now?
00:38Because it's local.
00:39Yeah, it's only up the road.
00:40Where are you from?
00:41We're from near Eccles.
00:43So how does it feel to have an event like this so close to the doorstep?
00:46It's brilliant.
00:48Yeah, it's really good that we've got something on our doorstep.
00:51It's like live music, yeah.
00:54Do you hope it'll encourage more events to come to parks like this?
00:56Absolutely, yeah.
00:59Well, have a good rest of your night.
01:00Thank you, cheers!
01:01How are you enjoying Radio 2 in the park?
01:03It's absolutely fantastic.
01:05Our first time here, absolutely loving it.
01:08Why have you come for the first time?
01:10Because it's in Preston and we're from around here.
01:13Are you from Preston?
01:14Well, we're at Leyland, so it's near enough.
01:17How does it feel to have an event like this so close to the door?
01:20You know what, it's brilliant.
01:22We've come with some friends.
01:24We said, this will probably not happen in Preston again,
01:27so we had to make the most of it.
01:30Who's been your favourite so far?
01:32Kate David for you.
01:33I'm still waiting for Sting.
01:35She's your favourite.
01:36No, she's older than me.
01:39Aren't you here tomorrow?
01:41No, no, just for today.
01:43So is it the main act today that may come on Saturday?
01:45Yeah, yeah, definitely.
01:47Do you hope more events will come to Preston in the future?
01:49Definitely, yeah, absolutely.
01:52Maybe Leyland instead?
01:53Yeah, well, there's a Leyland Live and we do that every year.
01:57You don't get Craig David at that, though, do you?
01:59No, no.
02:00We get Ricko.
02:01Yeah, to be fair, you do.
02:03I'm Nick Kershaw.
02:05So, feel privileged with the music opportunities in your area.
02:12Why are you here today at Radio 2 in the Park?
02:14We've been to Hyde Park before.
02:18Twice, a few years ago.
02:21And then this year we thought we could see Preston.
02:24We're still going to see Sting and Travis.
02:26Sting and Travis, that's who you're looking forward to?
02:28Yeah, all the Radio 2 presenters.
