Hmmmmm........

Ay up

Quite a tirade.........

Dancing was not stopped in the Ham but please note it is licenced as a concert venue with seating. We can take this on board in relation to future applications for licencing, you're not the first to raise this point but with over 6000 tickets sold and less than a dozen or so requests not sure how the powers that be will take that.

As for the straw............

This did not cause the flies it is a long and complicated story which I don't know the answer to. It relates to the wet weather, the hot weather, the sewerage scheme below the Ham the tide levels and the river flow. some of us had to live with it all week so we really do sympathise.

As for artists, email the festival with your wish list - they will listen, you may get some along next time you may not.

Their aim (and mine in my role) is that as many folk and folkies have an enjoyable, relaxed and safe festival, tell their freinds and come again the next year with their friends too.

We can only address our shortfalls if they are pointed out to us lucidly and constructively, so do it - contact the festival via the web site or pm me.
