cats...honest, no one is 'geting on at you.' All we asked was what truth is in the report that was in the link I provided. Never having been to that festival, we can only ask someone (in this case yourself) if what was reported is a true account of what happens, or is the report ficticious?

The origins of guising are well documented, has Padstow incorporated it's own take on things, or did the writer of the report imagine the afro wigs and ni**er songs? As that particular report is part of a book on the subject.....details given in the link, it would be interesting to know.
