Well my partner and I went just for the last few couple of day, I have been going for some years now, and well we were both very disappointed. Before anyone jumps on that comment I will say this. I lived in Broadstairs for quite some years and all my children were born and brought up there, it used to be a lovely town and still is to a point – unspoilt by horrid modern buildings, but there is a rowdy element that has crept in, as with most of the country. I am not against youngsters, I had four under five, but binge drinking and foul language is not my cup of tea, nor the friend who still lives there. Folk Week has really changed over the last few years, the pubs seem to be cashing in on loud rock music for the youngsters who spend loads of money on binge drinking, and this is pushing the folk element / sessions out. It was similar to Cambletown in Scotland which we visited last weekend, totally disappointing.
