Paul Davenport | Bevereley Festival Moving in 2013 (18) | RE: Bevereley Festival Moving in 2013 | 26 Aug 12 |
The 'people's festival' is an interesting phrase. Why do we, as a movement, allow the commercial interests to take over what are essentially celebrations of our common culture? If the organisers drop out as at Beverley some years ago, or at Hull Shanty Festival last year (see the thread elsewhere on Mudcat) and ditto at Sidmouth a while back, a bunch of enthusiasts get together and make it happen. But then everyone sits back and lets the commercial organisations take over. Why? |
