Thread Name: Shrewsbury Festival 2007 - what's on?
Subject: RE: Shrewsbury Festival 2007 - what's on?
I feel I have to say again that I thought the only blot on an otherwise lovely festival was the level of sound in the main marquee but here it is:- THE LEVEL OF SOUND IN THE MAIN MARQUEE WAS TOO LOUD AND INTERFERED WITH MY ENJOYMENT OF EVENTS IN THE OTHER VENUES.

If I'm shouting it's because no one seems to have listened properly to what is the real issue.

It is obvious that if I or anyone else doesn't like the level of sound in the main marquee we can vote with our feet and go elsewhere.

However, when we get elsewhere the sound follows and spoils the enjoyment of the quieter acts in the other marquees.

The organisers have gone to a lot of trouble to put on something for everyone and we should all have the opportunity to enjoy the type of music we like. I have paid my money the same as everyone else and I like to hear quieter acts. I should be able to enjoy them without interference from the noise from the main marquee.

Why put on quieter acts if we can't enjoy them properly?
