Quite simply the best event of the summer for me (and clearly for several thousand others). It has all been said both above and elsewhere but all aspects of how to run a good festival had been addressed. What is also impressive is the openness of the organisers to the feedback that is being offered by those of us that were there.

I know local people who came in and really enjoyed it. Shrewsbury can be proud of this event.

There was more music on that site than any one person could ever take in during 4 days. The range of concerts was impressive, together with a vast raft of sessions, workshops, dances etc. Rarely have I seen so many people queuing to get in to workshops. This was testimony both to the commitment of participants and to the quality of the workshop leaders.
The quality of the sound in Marquee 1 was, particularly when Graham was in charge, immaculate. If things got too loud for me, I went in search of something else - there was plenty of it.
Alan & Sandra have done the most astonishing job with this festival. If they have a problem, it is the old one of how to maintain excellence. But what a problem to have!
