Southport Summer Classics once again took place at Victoria Park over the weekend - and once again, wasn't it a brilliant event?

Friday saw M People and The Christians wow crowds with hits such as Harvest For The World, Movin' On Up, Proud and Search For The Hero. They were first class.

Saturday saw rising operatic star Natasha Marsh accompanied by the Royal Liverpool Philharnmonic Orchestra in performing some rousing classical favourites. Sefton schoolchildren also impressed the crowds with their impressive performance of opera ITOKU, which was specially written for the Capital of Culture.

This really has become such a popular event in Southport, congratulations to Sefton Council for their part in putting on such a great show.

The crowds on both nights, certainly everyone we spoke to, loved it. Even the weather was kind this year! The sun certainly smiled more on the Classics than it did on The Open last week!

Here's looking to Southport Summer Classics 2009 - we can't wait to see who'll top the bill next year...
