Thread Name: Sidmouth - was it good for you?
Subject: RE: Sidmouth - was it good for you?
Never been before, got a platinum ticket and enjoyed it all.
But,and there's always a but!
The Ham was great, but I wanted to see more people! To get a good seat in the you started queing at 7.30, it finished at 10.30.Usually overunning .
So every night I just got to see just the two Ham acts. They were good but I would like to see more people in the Ham not just a top act and a support. Even though the supports were excellent if a few too many young "Celtic" bands.
Saturday night in the ham was Van Eyken and Kirsty McGee.

Sat night in the Bedford was Wistman's Wood, Pete & Sue Coe, Sara Grey & Kieron Means, Brian Peters and Bodega.
See!! 5 acts to 2.
130 seats in the Bedford over 800 in the Ham.
Why not more variety in the Ham? The most expensive tickets and the least artists? Much as I enjoyed the Spooky Men, Brass Monkey etc. who need the large venue, I wanted to see more!
Anyone else with the platinum ticket feel that there should have been shorter sets and more artists in the Ham?
