Sorry Sam but the sound was atrocious
by KMH on 30/08/2025Rating: 1 out of 5Not normally one to complain but feeling incredibly let down. The sound quality at Belfast Boucher Playing Fields was awful. Volume was way too low, kept dipping up and down and could barely hear any saxophone. Should not be able to hear everyone's conversations plus the waltzers at the back of the field over a band playing directly in front of you. We even changed where we were standing throughout the concert but this made no difference. It made what should have been euphoric instrumentals fall flat, reflected in the atmosphere of the crowd. I know Sam himself is not at fault here but I feel like it needs to be said, especially as it seems to be a running theme reading reviews from his previous show in Edinburgh. If you are going to snub Wales and the South West on a "UK"tour the least you could do is make sure the venues you are playing are up to standard. I know I'm not the only one who forked out a small fortune on flights and hotels to attend this concert. It was a real shame, since the set list was fantastic.
