Mr. Red,

Firstly, couldn't you change your name to Mr. Angry?

Secondly, "I thank you by: being there
advertising it (unbidden) on several pages on..."

What a load of rubbish. Do you patronise a shop in thanks of it being there? No, you patronise a shop because you have need of it's products. You patronise a festival for the personal benefits you gain from attendance whether that is Dancing, Singing, Drinking, Socialising, Concerts or a combination of them all.

Secondly, don't claim to 'advertise' the festival, all you do is bitch, moan and whine like a child! If all I knew of Sidmouth Folk Week was what you have written I would NEVER attend. However, I know enough about the Festival and about you to take everything you say with a large pinch of salt because moaning is all you ever do.

Enjoy the personal benefits you receive from the festival and if you have constructive criticisms, make them to the fesival management direct in the manner requested of us all.

I'm sorry to anyone offended by this rant but I am fed up with Mr.Red badmouthing a Festival he claims to enjoy. Now I'm off to carry on organising my own festival, which requires massive effort and is significantly smaller!!

Finally, congratulations to ALL staff and stewards for a wonderful Sidmouth Folk Week 2010 - see you in 2011!!
