Big success for Rock at the Racecourse

07 June 2007 THE venue is more used to the sounds of joyous punters cheering their winning mount or unlucky tipsters crying into their beer. But it was the music of legendary bands Queen and the Bee Gees which filled the air as about 2,500 music fans from toddlers to pensioners attended the first Rock At The Racecourse at Fakenham. And organisers were so pleased with the turnout and reaction that they hope to make it an annual event at the popular racecourse. “It went really well and the atmosphere was brilliant,” was Russells' Promotions joint managing director Andy Russell's simple verdict on Friday night's event. “It was the first year we have held it here and to get those sort of figures gives us a great platform for next year.”
