“Let’s Rock was our first gig back after locking down started, we were in uncertain times then. It’s always special to be able to play music to a crowd, but this was extra special as it was our first attended gig for a couple of years so the emotions were running high. Combine that with the crowd, emotive music and the feelings can be overwhelming.”

Graeme Clark, Wet Wet Wet

“Festivals like Let’s Rock give everybody the opportunity to indulge in catching up on times past.”

Pauline Black, The Selecter
