I went last year and was saddened to see how commercial Cambridge now is. Sessions seemed to be discouraged and security not only stopped me putting a poster for my folk club on a fence but tore down other posters "because the organiser has told us nobody else is to advertise their own events".

The atmosphere was far less welcoming that at most festivals and I'm amazed how many people were allowed on such a small site.

If Cambridge is the best folk festival as it claims then heaven help us all.
