The 5 hour event featured six unsigned bands from in and around Sheffield, handpicked by the event organizers after an audition process. Each act had a set amount of time to impress, with very brief changeovers between bands. The result was a fine-tuned, sharp show that never dragged but never felt rushed.
In recent years, Sheffield has offered some of the country’s biggest bands, which has led to a stream of young bands emerging out of Sheffield, many offering completely new styles of music, and some refining an already established sound. All surely hope to achieve the same success as names now synonymous with Sheffield, such as Arctic Monkeys, and Reverend & the Makers.
The six acts on show at the Make Noize festival played to a crowd of over 300, and as the night continued, the crowd began to become more involved. The event was very well advertised, using Facebook as its main promotion spot.
Adam Carter, a student who attended the festival, said ‘Its great to see quality bands getting a good crowd… if it weren’t for this festival, they might not have got the chance to be heard.’
David Adams, another student amongst the throng, said 'I'd never seen a live band before tonight, I'm definitely going to more gigs after this... the atmosphere is fantastic'
The Make Noize festival was originally planned as a one-off event, but its overwhelming success has led the organizers to begin plans for a similar festival next year.
