Three people from Llanelli who spent £2,000 on a trip to see singer Sam Smith in Manchester have spoken of their disappointment when they stopped the gig after just four songs. Shane Meredith, 24, drove up to Manchester on Wednesday for the show at the AO Arena along with his husband Ollie and their best friend Sarah-Jane Cooper.
The trio from Llanelli spent around £2,000 on the trip in total, which included tickets, travel, accommodation, food and Sam Smith merchandise. Shane said they decided to spend a week's holiday in Manchester, with their favourite pop artist's concert being the main event.
He described a "lack of compassion" shown by Sam Smith, the production team and the venue, leaving fans very disappointed. He said: "I booked the tickets back in December as Christmas presents. Since then we have been saving up to turn it into a little holiday.
