Thread Name: Ascott Fesival. Were you there?
Subject: RE: Ascott Fesival. Were you there?
Yes, we bought Weekend Tickets and arrived late Friday afternoon. Audience suspiciously small (50) and food stalls empty. Music was poor until Nine Below, and of course the wonderful Richard T - but why did he only play for 70 minutes when billed for 90? many close to us felt oddly cheated.
Saturday was wet, but when you've been to Cropredy as often as we have you just 'get on with it'. As we drove in late in the afternoon, hoping to catch Christine Collister, we were told "It's been cancelled due to electrical storm and as there were more forecast they had no option but to cancel". Having paid over £70 for a 2 day event we certainly feel cheated by the organisers.
