well okay. you have to spend some money on getting there. and if you have to camp cos you live a long way away - well theres that you have to pay for.
but apart from a concert i paid ten quid to see Wizz Jones - most of the other concerts have been a bit rubbish. very stuffy rooms - i've walked out of a couple. long queues to get in the tent.

the joy of the place is the music and buskers and dancers on the sea front. the sessions. the fringe concerts that are often free. the sheer beauty of your surroundings and of course seeing old friends.

the vegetarian food is awful - bloody beetroot burgers. i was farting like a buffalo for three days. they should flog a concession to macdonalds or greggs. take a flask and sandwiches.
