I think we are getting quite a lot of contributions from those who were not there this year, or indeed, last.
I was there for both festivals and they were undoubtedly, the highlights of my festival seasons. No-one on the circuit goes to greater lengths to cater both for audience and artists. The camping is probably the best there is. I never once used an unacceptable loo. The food, beer etc was excellent. I watched dance teams (though it's not particularly my thing), heard acoustic acts, amplified acts, danced in the pit for Kerfuffle and Bellowhead, sat for Kerr Fagan Harbron, stood at the back for the Oysters, went to a ceilidh, etc etc. All in all, a most excellent weekend that offered a wide variety of music and activities for 4 days. Alan and Sandra work their socks off to make this run. I think they deserve some credit for their efforts and their amazing openness to comment and criticism. I'm not aware of any other festival where such a level of comment is welcomed.
