Well I was there last year and many previous years and the story I would say is B*LL*X!

Sorry,

The festival employs security to keep safe the festival - PA that walks etc.....

I know dancers who danced on the sea front, I walked along it many times and there was lots of music.

Duplicity is easy - when you are backed in to a corner come out fighting and let the truth take second place to myth and legend!!!!!

Teh festivla is not perfect but neither are Sidmouth Council or residents as some of the posts in this thread have shown. Lets all not be too gullible and hope for the best.
