"Tangledwood, the list of artists appearing at Cambridge is published well in advance of tickets going on sale. If the line-up doesn't match your definition of "folk" why decide to go there in the first place?"
Apart from the international performers most of the names meant nothing to me. I could only rely on the festival's title for a guide. International flights and accommodation had to be booked well in advance of details being placed on the website. It was only after buying the program on Friday that I found players influences to be hiphop, punk, electronica, reggae and so on.
"why not move to a different vantage point where this is not a problem? Easy to do at Cambridge"
I don't know where you found any? My legs and back wouldn't last out standing through an entire concert.
Yes Tim O'Brien was the gentleman. Excellent value!
