Oh Kev , you are wasting your time and effort on this thread as are most of those who agree with you, myself included, sadly so many of those who started to see the light wont put their thoughts into words, and why should they, the its a great festival everything is all right, nothing happened on campsites, nothing was damaged, nothing was vandalised, security was great, we know better than you, and if you dare say anything about our beloved broadstairs we will gang up , berate you, ignore your input, ban or exclude people, bands and singers, as well as any members of the folk fraternity who dont agree with us.
if people were to vote with their feet and more came onto the thread to speak about their views good or bad , perhaps things would change, sadly i doubt it, comments on this thread are from people who have the right to free speech, but sadly it seems not in their back yard of broadstairs. Kev you aint going i aint goin i know of many people who aint goin but they are not on mudcat, will it change things , no of course not, its a crying shame that such a venue is coming under such a spotlight , it has the potential to be a great festival if only the organisers would get off their high horse and see . sadly it will never happen. as a minor point how many other festivals come under this spotlight , i have not seen many, i know it was not all bad, parts were bad ie bands etc, most venues were like a normal pub night anywhere, apart from one or two, and it was every night,
