Being a sesh-a-holic (if I go to a festival, it's for the session scene and nothing else) - having read this thread, I'm glad I didn't go, and if the experiences related are accurate, I probably won't bother. I've had some great times at Chippenham festival - none of them, I hasten to add, before "last orders" - but this looks like the death knell of festivals as I used to know and love. Never mind, I can always go to a nice sedate campsite miles away from any "security guards" and drift off to recordings of sessions I made when sessions were still proper sessions. "Those were the days, My friend, We thought they'd never end...." That told 'em, huh?
