I have been a regular visitor to Sidmouth for some 20 years but it is the international shows in the arena I enjoyed as well as the open air concerts featuring well-known artists like Rolf.

I have never sung in an amateur session and don't intend to start now.

To those who only go to Sidmouth to listen to themselves, good luck. I'm sure you'll enjoy the sound of your own voices.

The many thousands who went to Sidmouth for the arena concerts won't disturb you. We won't be in Sidmouth this year because there is sadly nothing of interest to us.
