A dry festival? As the late A.J.Ayer would say, such a thing would be a category error. Certainly I can't imagine such a beast! Perhaps folkies are more restrained than other folk, but in all my years of festival-going I have to say that I've rarely if ever seen any real trouble that can be pinned on the booze (other than a tendency to run out of money because the darned stuff's so expensive) - but maybe I'm lucky.
