Thread Name: Shrewsbury Festival - How disappointing
Subject: RE: Shrewsbury Festival - How disappointing
Sounds to me that Alan and Sandra should get loads of credit for working so hard to ensure hundreds of folk have a great weekend. Billy and I organised a festival for over 15 years. Now we go to other peoples festivals to enjoy ourselves! Why?

15 years of weeks of preperation and meetings.
Anyone who had a complaint was always told" go see Wendy"
Artists taking too long on sound checks or arriving late for them.
Spending the whole weekend in the box office or back stage, so I never actually saw a complete concert.
Artists asking for the running order to be changed as they needed to get on the road early Sunday evening to get to the next gig.
I could go on.....
but we had a wonderful time , made fabulous friends, had lots of laughs and treasured memories.
Never been to Shrewsbury but it sounds good to me... maybe next year!
