Agree there's good/not so good aspects. It really is great value if you opt for the premier catering & the accomodation is good. The event is not dependent on the weather condition and it is a holiday camp so you need to accept that. I don't understand the soundcheck scenario,those staff need to get their act together,when you've got all day the least you can expect is for the musicians not to have to contend with last minute soundchecks & for the start times to be roughly accurate,plus I found the lighting in the centre stage areana to be a bit much at times & it was dificult to actually watch the stage. Thought Martyn Joseph was superb,Matthews Southern Comfort,Kanda Bongo Man,The Dylan Project, Bob Fox and Anthony John Clark also did it for me. Special mention for Chumbawamba who were something of a revelation & on a special personal note(for my musical development) I was the guy who sang Ring Of Fire with them! Anne & myself have booked again for next year,so they are moving in the right direction.Please don't book the Wurzels again and I also noticed they mimed to a backing tape on that remixed Combine bloody harvester number. Now that is a serious offence at a folk festival.....
