Thread Name: A 'no PA' festival
Subject: RE: A 'no PA' festival
Well Mr Red. I've just read your original post again, as well as the replies.
YOu didn't invite anybody to contribute to a list. You were extolling the virtues of No PA festivals, and suggesting that wouldn't it be so much better if they were all like this.

I can't see that anybody has disagreed with you on that one. In fact, even the people who you are accusing of being unreasonable and shouting have agreed with you. We all like acoustic music in its truest sense. That's why we all got involved in the music in the first place.

What we/them do not agree with is that you can force this model onto ALL festivals, and suggest that any that do not comply with your ideal are in some way inferior and to be villified.

It also seems to me that you are only interested in having a 'quiet discussion' with people that agree with you, or possibly just yourself.

I thought the whole point of this forum was that all shades of opinion could be aired in an adult way.

Maybe I was wrong?!
