I remember one festival a few years ago where the now non-existent Fleet Bank was a major sponsor and many of the corporate bank dudes were in attendance at the Main Stage Concert on the Friday night.

Cheryl Wheeler got up to do her set and her fourth or fifth song was "The Bank". I could see the organisers starting to cringe. There were huge Fleet Bank banners (and other corporate sponsors) all around the main stage.

I do recall though, that Cheryl, in her introduction made no mention of the Fleet sponsors, just how she came to write the song.
