Today or tomorrow is the last day to get your tickets for £15, after that you would have to pay £20 so get your tickets now if you haven't done so.

They have also announced the speakers/artists.

It was supposed to finish at 10 but didn't. It was announced to finish at 9:30, then at 9.

I most liked the two comedians; the Pakistani guy and the Palestinian. Most boring was the awards ceremonies.

Food was overpriced but was nice. There was alot of stalls, nearly spent a hundred quid there today (or yesterday to be technical). Will go there tomorrow InshaAllah and spend some more.

There was alot of sisters volunteering MashaAllah. Got alot of leaflets, which I was given and some lectures by some brothers who were passionate about what was happening in Iraq, Chechnya, Afghanistan, ect.

Met alot of people I knew around, and the most annoying thing was my phone ran out of battery when I was taking pictures, grrr.

How comes there was no Revival stall... and more importantly, where was Ed?

It was my first time I have attended such a big event, but I don't think I will be attending such events in the future. You don't learn anything and spend alot of money there.

So anyone who went (yes, that includes you Ya'qub) please share your experiences.

The Christian Pali guy? He was good, Jeff Mirza (Pakistani) was hilarious. So was Umair Ali.

Never been before, would like to go next year Insha'Allaah, if I need some abayahs etc its all in one place.

I don't know their names although they mentioned it but I think they were the ones. The Paki guy from yesterday also came today. The Palestinian guy said that his religion is Christianity and faith is Islam? He said that he did a show somewhere before and he got off the stage and there was 7 Israeli's sitting at the front row, and he quickly had to go back on stage before they occupied it lol, that was funny. Trust me it's better if you were actually there when they did their jokes.

I particularly liked the nasheed they played today. They're called Noor and they're from California (US). The nasheed they played was called All For You. I was so close to buying their album but I changed my mind at the last second.

Nope, didnt attend neither. I didnt go, watched on telly and online. Seemed good, if I went I woulda left early like 4 and wouldnt have gotten to c the main performers.

It looked good, they had the NQC finals, then Model Mosque, Jeff Mirza, Omair Ali and others.
