I would agree that there is a market for both. If there wasn't then there wouldn't be any 'stars'. That only works because they have a large following of people who do want to go and see them.

And yes, I thought twice about posting that for fear of offending people.

With regard to Sally's festival, if it provided for the people who went, great, but different people go to different festivals for different reasons. Surely it's wrong to say that something is bad becuase it's not to our own taste - we should be tolerant of the fact that there are different tastes and celebrate that fact. Folk has many facets and the difficuty is trying to provide for everyone
