**Probably the biggest illuminated Carnival in the World..!! My sincerest apologies to all the Entries i haven't been able to include in this video..This is due to 2/3 of my footage not being able to be used due to uploading difficulties this end. Such a shame..I just hope You enjoy the Carts which i have managed to show to give You a flavour of the event.
Been to see these three times. Nowhere in the world can top this event. Thanks a lot for sharing.
Thanks so much Keith....Probably one of the best free shows anywhere....Cheers....Steve.-:)
Wow. I never thought it was as good as this. Hopefully when it's on again I will go and see it. Thanks Steve.
Glad you enjoyed it.
Wow, that looked like one awesome carnival parade! The teams really put some impressive work into their floats, and the lighting is great. Very nice footage Steve!
Thanks THDA...Thought You might like this one..albeit a bit shorter than i planned...It really has to be seen to be believed...i had a great time watching and filming it...Cheers....Steve.-:)
WOW! that's an incredible production :) thanks so much Steve for sharing with the whole world to see. I hope you have a great weekend. Take care.
Thanks Ed...This Carnival has to be seen to be believed...The hard work that goes into building these Carts is phenomenal...This Town is 3 Miles from my House or 6 Kms....Lucky that ha ha.. Cheers....Steve.-:)
This must be the best parade in the country,the time and money they have put into the floats, absolutely amazing.That Panasonic coped very well with the low light,a very good video Steve.They even had my new loco on one of the floats!! LOL!........Best wishes Chris
Hi Chris and Rosie....Wish i could have got the other footage on YT as well...never mind. This is the biggest and best in Europe and overall the biggest Illuminated one in the World now. The X920 is a real star in my mind..will cope with pretty well any low light conditions. Your new Loco was the 'Capture the Iron Horse' Cart...But When You go to Pembrey with it next Year...Not sure if the Indians will attack it !!! ha ha....Steve.-:)
Gosh that's impressive Steve! Great event and well recorded! Well worth standing around in the cold for!
Thanks Mike...Glad You liked it....It was a great Night..Just wish i could have put on some more of what i captured ..never mind !! Best wishes......Steve..-:)
Your problems publishing this video Steve,don't seem to have spoilt it in any way and it is after all the best bits that remain.I can understand thatyour having seen the whole parade and the tremendous efforts made by somany people that you would have liked to include everyone!. It was a great video Steve and a worthy tribute to all the hard work and preparation entailed.Best wishes Geoff.
Thanks Geoff...Such a shame that i couldn't have included more of the others...Never mind !! There was some good Music on the other clips too...always next Year ...Thanks for your constructive comments as usual....Steve.-:)
Congratulations Steve, you've done it once again from 'The Wall'...an amazing show, the like of which you'll not see anywhere else.....Superb camera work, and a joy to watch...Fantastic production, despite the unfortunate problems you've encountered......Best wishes....Bob
Thanks Bob...I deleted loads of the clips , but can't seem get them back now even if i wanted..Even though they are still on SD card.....I eventually loaded this one direct on my Channel page...No problems then...!! Glad You enjoyed it..and thank You for the kind comments...Steve.-:)
I've got a program that can recover deleted files on your SD Card Steve, as long as you don't record too much over it....If that will help you then post it over, and I'll return it ASAP...Regards...Bob
Thanks Bob..But i am leaving this for now....other pressing things to do instead...Thank you for the offer..S.

Cheers Matt....Glad You enjoyed it....Steve.-:)
Wow, I had to share this on my facebook page. Truly amazing. Thank you Steve.

Superb video Steve. You have done a stunning production of this amazing carnival passion. Shame you had problems with rest of footage. Really great watch. Outstanding filming Best wishes C&A
Thanks very much both...Glad you like it...at least it was a dry Windless Night..!! I was gutted about other footage i had to leave out...But my Dad said to Me...'maybe less is more !!' Thanks for the lovely comments....Steve.-:)
A spectacular fun filled carnival there Steve. Very well filmed and it looked a lot of fun. Obviously a lot of hard work put into it by the organisers and others involved. Great viewing! Best wishes - Allan.
Thanks very much Allan...for some it's the highlight of our Town's Calender....people come from allover the World to be here...A massive amount of effort is put in by all the different Carnival Clubs...Cheers....Steve.-:)
An absolutely amazing carnival of lights! Beautifully filmed and you caught the atmosphere perfectly. Some of the floats gave me flashbacks to the latest Mad Max movie, haha! This looks like a very entertaining carnival, great work! Looking forward to next years one :-D
Thanks very much both...I just wished i could have got more footage on..but it was not too be..YT Gremlins strike again !! Was going to Bristol Airport this Weekend , but the Weather is pretty awful so will shelve it for now... Making a Steam one now as we speak..sort of substitute lol...Hopefully i can do this Carnival again next Year...Best regards...Steve.-:)
Hi Steve good to hear from you! Sorry to hear that you had problems filming the carnival, but as said this footage is fantastic anyway. Nice to hear that you are making a Steam vid and we are also looking forward to a spotting vid when the weather is better. We have not been out spotting for awhile either because of travel, editing and other engagements! Tak care and best wishes to you both from Denmark! :-D
Thanks...YT just wouldn't accept any more footage than You could see in video..lots discarded...grrr...But sorted it out now.. Steam one is quite atmospheric...lol...Best regards...S.-:)
Great video of the Carnival Steve,and a great watch to...Derek.
Thanks Derek..I always enjoy watching the Carnival live...this is the 2nd time i filmed it...Cheers...Steve.-:)
This is fantastic Steve :) Love all the lights :) Hope you keeping well ! :)
Thanks Krissie...Glad you enjoyed it....Yes, i am OK...Hope You and the Family are all good too....Best wishes....Steve.-:)
Steve Lewis Video Channel. This is fantastic I went to see it and it was so good thank for putting the video on RUclips now I can't share it with friends
It's really good to see that such carnivals are still going in the U.K Steve as they seem to be more popular abroad. Really enjoyed your coverage and noticed the odd train float had snuck in! My favourite though had to be Trash City but everyone had obviously gone to a great deal of trouble preparing for the event
This one is the biggest in Europe, and the largest Illuminated one in the World now. The were a few themes with Trains in them..ha ha..My favourite one was the Frontier Rail , with the Indians attacking the Train...of course !! It was simply done without too many extra effects...But it was superb for what it represented..the Costumes and makeup were excellent. Most Carts cost average £20,000 to build. Such a lot of work goes into them all over 12 Months...Thanks for your comments Austin...Cheers Steve.....
Great Stuff Steve....A Lot Of Work Gone Into This.Very Enjoyable....Trevor.''
Glad You enjoyed Trevor...Well worth seeing live if your ever down this neck of the woods in November...Steve.-:)
Was very close two weeks ago Steve...''
Always next Year Trev...lol..
Fantastic show again Steve .. one day ?? .. Dave
You need to come down to see this Dave.....The amount of people i met who were 'First timers' They vowed they would be back again...One hell of an atmosphere here. Well worth it..Cheers...Steve.-:)
Terrific video of what looks to have been a rather good event . * The floats are wonderful ..Good work here Steve..
YT still never send me your videos although am subscribed and ask for notification .. Stay well and greetings ,
Helena :)
Hi Helena, Glad you like it...Just a lot shorter than i'd have liked ...YT gremlins struck again...!! **On my channel page where it shows your subscribed to me there is a bell next to it , if you press on that it will give you the option to be notified of whatever i put on...Have you tried that way ? Best wishes...Steve.-:)
have done lets see what happens ---:)
Amazing show!
Thanks so much Matt...Cheers...Steve.-:)
Not until I started watching these videos did I realise how much I missed the carnival really hope it will be on next year it has been gone for far too long
A spectacular show well caught by your position and equipment. Somerset's best kept secret of the magnificent seven processions over three weekends is worthy of anyone's attendance, not just to see the results of a year's work by the entrants, but to part with some cash to help keep the show on the road and support local charities.
The only thing that spoils it for me is over enthusiastic use of smoke machines, which appear this year to have been sold off cheap to many clubs... The move to LED lighting is shown to good effect on the Marketeers cart - Space Machine, worthy of the recognition it is getting on the County Carnival circuit and showing what the future holds...
Now you have been to the rehearsal you might find time to see the finished procession of carts and masqueraders at North Petherton on 12th ;)
Lol...Thanks Rich.... Those Smoke machines at times did obscure the filming...never mind...LED lighting would save Electricity even on a Cart too. I liked Space machine as well...My favourite being the Frontier Rail one...no need to ask why... Best wishes...Steve.-:)
That was amazing. Thanks for posting!
Thanks very much 99carnot....Glad you liked seeing it....Steve.-:)
Excellent !!!!
Thanks very much...Steve.-:)
Nice video!
Cheers Boris....Best wishes....Steve.-:)
