One of the reasons for the lack of information on what was on as far as music was concerned was down to the fact that it was almost impossible to get a programme.tourist information centre usually hands these out to local shops and business a couple of weeks before the event, it didnt happen this year, so there was a lack of information in the weeks leading up to the festival.

I think an effort definetely needs to be made to book more morris sides, especially for bank holiday Monday.It might be a good idea to have two parades, on the Saturday morning as well as the Monday.

The high st in general is always pretty dodgy after six, and this is down soley to a couple of particular pubs, loud music, yobs etc and total lack of police presence.On Sunday we didnt dance, but had a day off, as we left the Gordon Hotel about six it was already filling up with people who were threatening, this ominous presence continued in the high st particulary outside the city wall wine bar, where a huge crowd had gathered.There was not a morris man or woman in sight, no folkies either or funnily enough no police.I was very glad at that point that I wasnt wearing kit!.
This situation was soon remedied by heading for the GI to a warm , friendly and welcoming atmosphere.good food, beer and company!

I think the police need to get off their backsides and be more visible, its not helped by certain venues who actively encourage yob culture either!
