Primary Times Children's Choice Awards review of Comete
Our Primary Times' review:
This French 4-piece band give youngsters a great taste of a real rock show, with a mix of older and more modern European music.
The stage, dry ice and lighting made it very easy to see the band of three guitarists and one drummer, and the sound system was just right to hear the music without being too loud for the younger children. There was a good mix of French, English and even one German track and the whole event felt just like a proper gig, not a children's show.
The interaction with the audience was good - telling us about the band and getting us to wave our arms and dance along with the tunes "OK Edinburgh, give me your best dance moves!". It was all very light-hearted and the band made a good joke about an 'encore' plus being 'fluent in German' once we had learned the word for a song chorus.
The adults joined in toe-tapping with Trio's 'Da Da Da' and 'Should I stay or should I go' by The Clash so there was something for everyone.
Our young reviewers say:
“Cool rock show... I wish it was longer" - Hailey, aged 10.
