Bee makes a fair point. But as Guest 12:15pm said, that's the way it is. Would it happen if there wasn't a festival? I don't know. Last year, a policeman told me that the Saturday night was no worse than a normal summer Saturday and my elders tell me that Keith has always had a bit of a wild reputation.

Last year, at Kirrie festival's farewell concert, one of the guests made a comment about the rowdiness going on outside the concert hall. He said, "They're no different from how we were, just young people enjoying themselves." He's a well respected musician and he certainly gave all us complainers pause for thought.

It is sad when people like Guest 12:15pm stop coming - it means we've all lost out. But it's perfectly understandable. There's a good chance I won't go back to Muchty until there's a secure campsite, but I'll always feel it's my loss.
