We WERE advising people about the quieter, noisier and very noisy bits of the campsite, certainly up until I finished manning the gate on Friday afternoon. It's always been one of the things we've told campers. I agree with Colin that going to sleep to the sound of live music and conversation is really rather nice, and i don't think telling people to be quiet when they are having a good session is part of the folk festival ethos. I do think the people who were shouting, screaming and 'whooping'...making gratuitous noise apparently for the sake of it should have been asked, politely to keep it down.
