GUEST,Sidmouth Fan	Have big folk festivals had their day? (57* d)	RE: Have big folk festivals had their day?	25 Feb 07
Jim says "Sidmouth have lost the plot". I think it's more a case of a festival having lost its direction and now having to re-invent itself. It's no longer a big festival but it still has a future for those who prefer informal sessions and dance displays to big-name concerts. The sessions and dance displays are as good as ever but the concert side of things seems a real mess with no-one in overall control, no clear ticketting system, and sky-high prices for those concerts still held at the Ham. I guess the high ticket prices are needed to pay for all the uniformed security guards now policing the festival. Many of my friends are going elsewhere this August but you'll still find me on the prom with knotted hankerchief on head watching the world go by with bells on its legs. Philip G.
