Friday night saw no play in the Hurghada International as it was Hurghada Festival night.

A large stage was erected in the centre of the city for a major pop concert. According to Al Ahram newspaper on Saturday morning the number of people in the square, adjoining streets and watching on big screen erected elsewhere was around 75,000....and the WISPA players were presented to them all on stage. To rousing cheers Rachael Grinham took the microphone to greet the people of Hurghada,….. in Arabic as well as English!

The show was also broadcast to the whole nation on TV.

As Tegwen Malik, said "It was spectacular but daunting. Standing in front of such a sea of people is not normal for us!!"
