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?

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.
