Constructive criticism? Raise the height of the stage. I actually worked out, while there, that if the stage was raised by 1 metre there would be no problem. You'd even see what the step dancers' feet were doing. As to raising the seating. How many seats were there? 3000? 4000? Doesn't sound realistic to me.

I apologise to Graham Bradshaw if I seemed to be saying it was all the sound crew's fault. I realise that that tent is probably a sound engineer's nightmare. I also knew that a lot of the 'stars' bring their own man. I've noticed on more than one occasion that that's when it all starts going downhill. Richard Thompson's sound was excellent (I don't know who did it)and although it was just one voice and acoustic guitar I'm sure Graham will tell us that that's not as easy as you'd think.
