I'm very saddened by this, I agree the pub management need to know that they are driving people away. I also would bet that those responsible do not buy any tickets for anything to contribute towards the festival. Did they even realise exactly who they were insulting - i.e. the artistic director of the festival and one of the most well-loved performers. (PS Eliza we loved seeing Florence in the Bedford and she was having a great time) As Lester said to us one afternoon, it's you people who buy tickets that keep the festival going. Some people seem to think it's their right to turn up, take over the pubs, and give nothing back.
