Michael Garland of the chamber of commerce had this to say about the event ; ““It is really extraordinary that Waterford City is yet again adding another “string to its promotional bow” and all credit must go to the SCC Group for having the courage and conviction to stage this event in the Regional Sports Centre, in the very beating heart of Waterford City. To stage what will be the first event of this type in Waterford City will create a whole new dynamic to the destination that is Waterford City.

Not only will the City be hosting the Tall Ships Festival with three nights of concerts but only a few weeks later this event will take place attracting so many concert goers to the City. At last, we can see strategic alliances being formed, headed by the SCC Group, that will once and for all put Waterford City on the concert map. On the back of this event, we will in the future see more acts and bands requesting to play in Waterford City. I have no doubt that with the drive and determination of companies such as the SCC Group this event will only be the starting point to a very exciting future for the City in the concert market.”
