Venues and audience numbers are carefully calculated. The mosh pit holds about 500 people. If we had cancelled the mosh pit where do you think all of those people would have gone?

Festival goers do not suffer from the English disease - if they feel it necessary they complain.

The seated audience did hear if people were talking at the back. They complained for years until we had the mosh pit. Overall the mosh pit is a success and with a higher stage next year it will be even better.

2000 seats - we had more isles in the main marquee than they did at Bromyard plus ours were wider and started further back.

And when I said 'we do give a monkeys' I meant about the festival!
