Subject: RE: Shrewsbury Festival 2007 - what's on?
Free beer? they ran out of cider and perry before that and I don't drink beer. The only bright part of that is I was almost out the door home when they announced.

You can't win on all counts, the size of the site allows the venues to have plenty of geography between them and sound leakage was better but the sessions did experience it. And distance = time or tiredness.

Having said that I was in the stewards' office and I can tell you it was better all round but some venue managers had to work hard to achieve that. Credit to Martin and Margaret - many unscheduled problems got dealt with very quickly.

and of course the sheer size of the undertaking meant literally people were saying on Monday "I haven't seen you all w/e". I shall have to get a more high viz hi-viz red jacket.
I saw musos on Monday night who I hadn't seen all w/e. That is BIG and I am not so sure it is good.
We will see next year. Expect the same quality organisation.
