It has to be said. I was talking to a sound man about the festival earlier, who said that they don't pay many of them anything. Despite the fact the minimum wage is a meagre £4.85 ph (UK). They get around this, through a self employment loophole They charge £125 for the weekend ticket. Much more then any other festival in UK. I see a fair few protest/socialist singers there on the bill. I suggest they boycott Mean Fiddler events, the company who organise the gig. Make exploitation and poverty history.
