I must admit I was shocked at some harsh comments by people. I am from folk child stock where I can't remember the first time I went to a folk club, festival, session, ceilidh etc because I was still in nappies.

The one thing I notice from the type of person who enjoys folk and embraces it into their life is how super friendly they are and how everyone is their friend.

I love all music, from classical to heavy rock and folk is mostly my biggest heart warming music genre because of all the nice images it conjures...

It is a very English or British trait to not wanting to complain but I am sure that any festival organiser is welcoming to them because they want a festival to work for the people and there is nothing wrong with constructive feedback. Bitching at each other is never constructive.

Diplomacy may not always work but it is a lot nicer to try first :D
