Dave Higham Shrewsbury Festival - How disappointing (69* d) RE: Shrewsbury Festival - How disappointing 07 Oct 08


A lot of people type much faster than me, which is why I've just seen the last 7 messages.

Sandra, thank you for replying to my whinges.

You say you didn't get the stage you ordered. OK I wouldn't expect you to cancell the festival, I'd expect you to cancell the mosh pit. Why is it so important that 100 or so people be allowed to stand in front of the other 2000. I'm not talking about 'dancing' now. They only 'danced' in one of the 5 concerts we attended. In the others they just stood in front of everyone else. The least I'd expect is a public explanation that what was said in the festival publicity hadn't materialised.

You're quite right, all concerts did not start 45 minutes late. They varied between 45 minutes and 15 minutes. None of them started on time but if you say there was always a good reason...

So no-one complained about the mosh-pit but they did complain about the height of the stage. Doesn't that amount to the same thing? But that's the English disease isn't it? Never complain. Perhaps I've lived too long where people do complain if something's not right. As to people standing at the back and getting too loud, I can't imagine they'd be noticed at those sound levels. And why is it better if they get noisy (and a visual nuisance) at the front?

Only 2000 seats? It seemed a helluva lot bigger than the Bromyard tent that held 1120 (I counted 'em).

When I said 'who gives a monkey's' I meant whether or not I come back next year, not whether or not I air my views on the Internet.
