Yes, it's probably true that "Sidmouth as we knew it is behind us" but those of us who have been going for any length of time know that the Sidmouth of recent years has been a completely different thing from Sidmouths of other eras. What we will now probably have is yet another incarnation of the festival, but that isn't to say that a wonderful, enjoyable Sidmouth festival can't burst from the sahes of the old one. And those who put their efforts and energy into helping this to happen may be able to create a festival that they will want to go to...and a lot of other people will enjoy.
