Review: T4 on the Beach 2005

Chris Ellis
Weston-super-Mare played host to T4 on the Beach on Sunday 19 June, 2005. 91Èȱ¬ Somerset reporter Chris Ellis went along to the event to check it out, and interview some of the stars.


You can see photos of T4 on the Beach, and listen to interviews with some of the performers, by clicking on the links on the right.

With thousands of people and some great artists, Weston-super-Mare hosted one of the biggest live music festivals of the year.

T4 came to the beach for their annual beach party event, where a host of big names came together for a packed three-hour show, which was transmitted live on Channel 4.

Evanfly

Dan Murphy from Evanfly on stage

The show was hosted by the T4 presenters who the crowd went wild for, especially Vernon Kay.

Vernon hosted the event from 12pm, introducing a DJ set and various other musical entertainment which kept the crowd amused while the thousands piled onto the beach.
Ìý
The band which stole the show was Evanfly, the only unsigned artists to perform at the event.

The Weston-based indie/rock band have been billed as the next big thing, and have been compared to bands of the past such as The Kinks and The Jam.

You can listen to an interview with Evanfly, just after they came off stage, by clicking on the audio link at the top of this page.

You can also read an interview with Evanfly, and listen to some of their tracks, from when they popped into the 91Èȱ¬ Somerset Sound studio to chat to Jo Phillips - again, the link's at the top of this page.

The show then started and the crowd went wild as June, Vernon and Steve entered the stage. The Kaiser Chiefs were first to perform and were a great start to the beach extravaganza.
Ìý
Pop legends Madness were next on and appealed to all of the audience, old and young.

Athlete got a huge welcome onto the stage. As they performed Wires, it was amazing to see virtually the whole crowd swaying there arms to what could be called their signature song.

A great line-up

Athlete
Athlete played their hit song, Wires

Soap stars were also present.

They included June Brown (Dot Cotton) and Joe Swash (Mickey Miller) from EastEnders, Jennie McAlpine (Fiz Brown) from Coronation Street, and Alex Carter (Lee Hunter) and Darren Jefferies (OB) from Hollyoaks.
Ìý
The music for the T4 titles was I like the Way by the Bodyrockers, and when the band performed it, the crowd went mad, as the beat echoed through the sand beneath us.
Ìý
With a mix of music to follow from the likes of Rooster, Audio Bullys, Garbage, Daniel Bedingfield, Rachel Stevens, Lemar and Goldie Lookin' Chain, there was music to suit every taste.

During the show, there were also T4 features such as The Spit Roast, where the artists got a grilling from the T4 presenters.
Ìý
The cameras were continuously panning across the audience, giving people the chance to have their five seconds of fame!

Amarillo found in Weston

With the event drawing to a close, Feeder were the penultimate act to perform.

They played a new track, as well as the classic Buck Rogers, which was great to hear live on the beach, with thousands of people, on one of the hottest days of the year.
Ìý
The finale was in the form of the legend Tony Christie, who performed Is This the Way to Amarillo?, which involved all the cast and celebrities joining in.

Vernon even wore a purple suit which, of course, was worn by Peter Kay in the video for the number one Comic Relief single.

It was a great end to an extraordinary line-up of over 20 celebrities, bands and artists, who performed in front of probably the biggest crowd ever to be present at Weston-super-Mare.

Hey!! yer me and my 11 mates all went to T4 last weekend in the amazingly hot weather! we managed to blag our way into the golden circle and got ourselves on tv! When Feeder sang Buck Rogers, the atmosphere was off the hook!! Kaiser Chiefs and Bodyrockers were amazing as well! Sorry Rachel, but didnt think you were too good. Omg Steve Jones!!! One word....PHWOAR!!!! i got the best pic of him ever!

amy hadley
i thought evanfly were the best band there

Lou G
T4 on da beach was great fun, weather was georgous and there were a great line up of bands & celebrities. Only downside for me was all the poor people that got taken away by St Johns Ambulance whilst sweltering in the queue for 2 and a half hours! Well Done to St Johns tho they seem to act quickly an effectively. Plus I think Steve Jones is delicious, and if he ever comes to Weston again he had better watch out! Dirty Boy ! x x

teresa
i was at t4 on the beach right on the front row and just to say- it was fantastic really really enjoyed it!!rachel stevens was the worst act and body rockers were the best by far!! thanks t4

Georgina

gemma hm

john
We were at the T4 beach party, it was well cool. Lots of amazing acts.We went to The Sands bar later and Steve Jones was there. Even though he was with a big crowd of people, he signed autographs and had his picture taken (mainly with all the girls). thought he was very nice, though he didn't stay long.

Anon
We had VIP passes for the day. It was tremendous. June Brown wasn't sloshed on beers as reported in The Mirror, and all the celebs were just fantastic. Great day out!

craig ford
i thought thhat it was brilliant

chelsey xx
omg, me, mah bruva, mah m8 and mah bruvers m ad such an amazin time!!! neva been 2 such an amazin concert. plus. me and mah m8 were in tha VIP which made it even beta!! xx

angela
i went 2 the t4 on the beach in weston-super-mare, it was so mint, i really enjoyed myself and i would go again, that was my firat time going, it was one of the best days that i ever had!!!!!!!!!!

Michelle B
What an amazing show, I won Golden Circle Tickets so I was right at the heart of the action. Daniel Bedders was fantastic as usual role on August when Im seeing him again. Oh cant forget to add that steve is so HOOOTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!

soemil hammkin
vernon is very hot on the beach. i love rooster and feeder fat guy! & hot guy next to me!

Trinity
we were there in the heat! The show was fantastic. GLC and Kaiser Chiefs rocked but the heat was bad and the queues to get in and out so long. Why did they take our drink away? on the hottest day of the year? Plus the food places ran out of drink as well. Thank fully as the sea came in it brought a warm breeze. Close your eyes and you could have been in Miami. Bliss

I'm a love kitty
OMG!!!! Weston has had nothing decent since the radio one road shows which were on when i was about 8 but OMG!!!! thgis conert was AMAZING!! they kicked off with the greatest band of the moment the kaisers! omg my socks were blown off and more concerts, music festivals, etc... are welcomed by me but they have the T4 high standards to beat

cerys
i thought T4 on the beach was well worth the long wait! it was fantastic and loved all the bands playin, especially kaiser chiefes, feeder, athlete,akon, mario and booby valentino! they were all lookin fit especially vernon! and the two blokes stood up on the roof when mario was singin!! haha
