Subject: RE: Sidmouth 2005 - the verdict?
Saint Gordon of Newton a 'truly lovely man'? Unprofessional mysogynists are not that. And I sure as hell wouldn't like to meet him if this is a typical example of his behaviour.   I don't care how much personal effort he put in to get the festival off the ground. Such an attitude cannot be condoned and I'm glad it's out in the open. I just didn't feel I should be the one to expose it since I wasn't present and said I would leave it to those directly involved to decide what should be said.   I have, however, met Kate Longmate who is indeed a truly lovely, efficient and professional person who manages her artists with skill. She didn't deserve this kind of treatment. Others need to be aware.
