Just to confirm Ruths statement, I was indeed speaking as a mere functionary, and not representing the views of the Sidmouth management...I'm not part of that side of the festival...I get asked to help out with PA, because they know me, and I'm useful... My gripe is with people out there who with no good reason brand me, and other volunteers who work at Sidmouth (and indeed other festivals) as " Morons" It's unpleasant and insulting to a group of very hard working people who give up their time voluntarily to provide a service for the smooth running of the festival.
Anyway, If you want it quiet, Sidmouth provides the only Silent Ceilidh around...You won't get quieter than that.
Mu views are mine and mine alone. Am still waiting for an apology from various posters, who really should avoid me this summer. Even Morons have long memories.
