"there's a difference in creating the by-law and enforcing the same by-law, the will to enforce needs to be there, and therein lies the problem"

True - I asked a policeman why they were not enforcing the "no amplified music" bit and he implied that they were going easy on performers during festival week as they didn't want to spoil the atmosphere. When I said that mostly the amplified groups were not generally part of the festival he was surprised, but said that he couldn't tell the difference between different perfomers anyway. It might be worth the festival organisers discussing this aspect with the police?
