Fringe or Festival herein lies the problem in my opinion, at a festival a couple of years ago a group of us all musicians where in a pub enjoying a drink with our instruments not on view. The room had tables around the walls leaving a horseshoe in the middle. A group of people came in to hold a session in the middle of the room at this point they had no respect for anyone in the room,organising furniture shoving boxes in peoples faces etc, we where sat facing the wall at a table and a 2 of this group placed there chairs so that it was resting on the backs of our chairs they where so arrogant that they would not move,one of them also fussed around as if they was god. When the session started we took our instruments out and played the tunes being played badly in there ear till they moved. This was at a large festival and was unorganized, the view they gave of the organized festival was not very well received by non folkies in the room we left after finishing our beer.
