Subject: RE: Review: Sidmouth - Good stuff and boring stuff
The best bits were singing in the Middle Bar, playing on the prom & watching the sunsets, sampling Ms Lemon's wares (including the lemonade) and breakfast at the cafe whose name I forget but is halfway along the prom.

The worst bits were not being able to sell lemonade at the Sailing Club as arranged because the council wouldn't let us (guess who was responsible for that!) and being too hot - but I can see myself being shot down in flames over that one!

As far as the 'official' festival was concerned, I enjoyed a bit of Hekety's dance behind the Anchor and the last five minutes of Spiers & Boden heard through the canvas of the Ham marquee. As you can probably tell, I didn't have a ticket. Exorbitant or what?!

Anyway, the best bits about any festival for me are the fringey bits, principally loud singing, good beer and copious ice-cream. Others are entitled to their opinions too!
