The sad thing is that it's easy to tell people what they did wrong. It's not so easy to get everything right and it will never be right if everyone gives it a public kicking.

If you run a pub these days your best nights for business are likely to be on Friday and Saturday Nights. Why should you risk your best nights takings for some strangers to come and take over your Pub for one night a year.

Too many times have I heard the statement I don't like "Folk Music" the media knocks "Folk" with regularity. So why do we need to publicly join in and add negativity to it? What ever it is you have found not to your liking you should be in writing to the Organizing Committee and telling them what you did like and what you did not like. Why not come up with some bright idea's for next year like a charity none stop sing-around the falls (That should sort the half speed sing-around 28 verse dirge's out!) and if it don't then suggest it's done over The Three Peaks the year after!
