GUEST,I Don't Know Butlins Great British Folk Fest 2011 (90* d) RE: Butlins Great British Folk Fest 2011 05 Dec 11


Just returned from a good weekend of entertainment. I did not enjoy 3 Daft Monkeys that much but you can't all like everything.
Heared Friday eve that rebooking for next year was already well underway and if you wanted the sky seats you neededd to hurry and book, I did just that, by saturday afternoon all skybar seating was taken. This morning there were three ladies still taking bookings for next year, one member of management said out of 6000 punters this year they have already taken advanced bookings of nearly 2000. Something must be right.
I spoke to several people and the main topic of complaint was the change over times between acts and the fact Reds (the second venue) stood empty both sat and sun afternoon when maybe they could have had reversal of acts so you could have seen everyone.
Yes the sound was dodgy at times and as Richard Digance said " I only have one guitar can't you even get that ....right!!!!"
All in all very good accomadation and friendly staff.
Looking forward to seeing next years lineup.
