I want to mix with sociable people who have a sense of humour.

I want to laugh a lot and possibly cry a little - I want to be moved.

I want to see (and hear) big names, small names and no names.

I want to be entertained and I want to sing because it lifts my spirit.

TO ME THIS SOUNDS JUST LIKE A FOLK FESTIVAL

I want to avoid folk snobbery.

I don't mind buying my ticket because that is how festivals survive.
