The Wanted rock the Castle

The Wanted played a long-awaited and anticipated concert at Ripley Castle near to Harrogate yesterday (15 July 2012).

Strong support came from Lawson, who are currently gaining much air play with their recently released single and 17-year old A*M*E who delivered an impressive and confident performance.

As far as concerts go, that was the most chilled out one of all, it was safe for the kids to just do as they pleased, and the fact that my 10 year-old was at the front and actually touched Max and wasn’t crushed in the process was just magic for her, it’s something she will never forget, there was no drama, no fights and no people drinking too much, it was just brilliant. I was with my friend who was on crutches and she enjoyed it ten rows back without being pushed and shoved, it was just brilliant.

Brill night what a fantastic venue great for young children as there was no pushing or feeling confined.. vocals from Lawson and the wanted were great my 6 year old loved it!!! only down side for me was the 2 and a half hour wait for the boys to come on my daughter started getting tired, and stray fm dragged on a bit.. other than that a great night.
