Bromyard isn't the biggest? Since when has big meant anything other than big? Big means queues, big means less community, big has one thing going for it - it's bigness. Bromyard is big enough to NOT have to say "I haven't seen you all festival" or "Don't seem to have seen this many new faces at a festival before". Bromyard has had critical mass for years and with the help of Dick Dixon has maintained it. When numbers drop it is difficult to maintain impetous. I stuck with it when that could have happened and am rewarded with a lovely weekend in September every year. AND it is is in the heart of cider country.

All praise to Dave Jones, wherever he is looking down from.
