GUEST,Musician Sidmouth Tickets (190* d) RE: Sidmouth Tickets 02 Jun 05


Well now I've seen it all!

We're used to Lizzie attacking all and sundry but why or why is John 'Giok' MacKenzie accusing musicians of charging too much and accusing Gordon Newton of booking too many acts.

You just can't win!

Most folk musicians charge very low fees. Often just enough to get them to the gig and pay for their food and living expenses. I should know. I've performed at Sidmouth many times over the past 25 years and always for less than I'd charge elsewhere.

Gordon Newton has worked his butt off trying to keep a folk event alive in Sidmouth and now even his so-called friends are attacking him!

With friends like Lizzie and 'Giok' Sidmouth doesn't need enemies.

I'm disgusted with the lot of you. Sidmouth deserves better!
