Chaz - Is it your opinion that all festivals, regardless of size, quality etc. should be run by volunteers who also have to try to hold down a full time job whilst cramming "organise large, multi venued festival" into their spare time?!

Or, upon reflection, is it fair to suggest that you would prefer to attend a professional, well organised and well managed festival? In the overall scheme of things, this kind of salary is going to make little difference to a festival - when you take into account the cost of such things as venue infrastructure etc. But then, it's probably fair to assume that you don't have an in depth, working understanding of planning a festival. Am I right?!
