Thread Name: Why I won't be seeing the Unthanks
Subject: RE: Why I won't be seeing the Unthanks
I have enjoyed the Unthanks, and while sitting, and can see why sitting should be an option - but the pointlessness of gigs where you have to sit through a jig or a reel is far more common and annoying in my experience. With people like Bellowhead this is obvious, but others like Katherine Tickell the mood changes, and with it the position!

This shows me why festivals are so good - Trowbridge with limited seating at the back, an open sided marquee with grass outside and lots of floor where you can do as you will - the result? Pleasant anarchy! So much better than you MUST stand/sit.(perhaps this preference is because I am 29?)

Bring a deckchair or 3 to the Pheonix.
