MUSE - WOW!!

They came, we saw, they conquered! Teignmouth has never experienced anything like this. Two months in the planning, one week to get the Den Arena ready, the huge stage, lighting rigs, merchandise tents, Arena Bar and of course lots of portaloos! Working with the super efficient S.J.M. Concert promoters, we proved that Teignmouth, a little seaside town in South Devon could punch above it's weight and host two gigs by three local boys, the famous MUSE Rock Band. Thousands of enthusiastic fans of all ages roared their welcome as the Band rocked out numbers from their new Album, Resistance. Two up and coming local bands from Teignmouth, The Quails and Hey Molly had the chance of a lifetime on stage as supporting acts. Radio 1 DJ Zane Lowe worked the huge crowd into a frenzy of anticipation until the big moment arrived when Matt Bellamy, Chris Wolstenholme and Dominic Howard appeared on stage and launched into a stunning laser lit performance watched by their families, Teignmouth college friends, teachers, neighbours and just about everyone who had tickets for the shows or could find a perch on a balcony or rooftop to cheer the boys on. Hands punched the air and ten thousand pairs of feet stamped to the beat rattling the furniture in the stately Georgian and Victorian terraces curved around the Arena. We are all still on a high!
