I have been to Sidmouth twice in the last three years (not this year) and each time enjoyed myself enormously. Luckily the politics and bollocks that seems to be of much interest to some here was conspicuous by its absence when I was there and I just enjoyed listening to things, enjoying the atmosphere, and singing songs and playing tunes with people.

To the leveller: if you get a chance to go, do. I think on balance I enjoyed it more than I do Whitby.
