Hmm,
Thought it was poor meself.
Only a few 'Named' acts and it was very quiet. There were only 14 people in the Saturday night ceildh. What a waste of a 250 seater hall.
SOH were a beacon above a lot of average local club talent on Sunday.
The same opinions were expressed by the people we met on the bus and in the various venues.
We estimated it was at least a third down at the campsite and well over half at most of the concerts on three years ago.
Too many venues and not enough national acts.
What a shame as it's been a fantastic festival in years past.
what did you think?
