I have just returned from Bromyard and simply do not recognise the festival about which people are moaning here...
I bought my programme on Thursday at around 2pm and planned my weekend events to include the concert in Falcon Mews on Thursday evening - my highlight was the young lad Cohen and his Pa.
I found the festival (as usual) to be buzzing with a variety of options for listening, watching and joining in. It was very well organised with brilliant toilets, a much improved bar & loads of food choices. A duckboard and saw dust helped out at certain muddy points and one has to remember that being a sports ground, the main arena cannot be filled with hard core or bark chippings to soak up the wet.
Naturally, I did not enjoy EVERY artist on the list, but loved most and every night I went very late to bed with the sound of lively sessions from the bar and club still ringing in my ears.
It was a lovely weekend and I hope it is exactly the same next year.
