I suppose I could risk start an old argument: - when camping on the festival camp site (as has been allowed I am told without a festival ticket) for the past three years you are contributing to the coffers of the festival and helping (hopefully) to ensure its further longevity.

If you are not and are only at the fringe events then please put a sovereign (never could spell that word) or two in the collecting tins etc. and support the week which brings together many aspects of Folk music, song and dance. something it would be very sad to loose.
