Virtually everyone on this thread seems to be saying exactly the same thing: some festivals have PAs, some dont.Nice to have a bit of diversity. Whatever Graham Bradshaw says, I am unable to find any letter, from Mr Red or anyone else, saying no festivals should use PA systems.Thjre has certainly been some hostility to excessively noisy PA systems, and also some hostility to any kind of acoustic music on the grounds that you can't balance it properly, but by and large people seem to agree there's room for both. So where's the argument?
