Well, well, Guest, Guest.

It's sometimes nice to let off a bit of steam and, of course, I don't expect anything to happen as a result of "moaning about things" here.

I'm sure many organisers of smaller events do look in here and some have even posted to this thread already. Many will not, of course, especially if the genre of music is a little different and these days there are far more "professional" organisers as opposed to amateur music loving enthusiasts.

Anyway, that's not the point. I deliberately haven't named the festival nor its location or any of the people involved and I'm not expecting any response from the organisers in this forum .
I may or may not decide to contact them directly with constructive feed back and, more generally, pass on my views re such matters to other festival organisers, local councils, funding groups and so on.
However, that's a different matter.
