Subject: RE: Review: Oxford Folk Fest - Anyone been before?
Not been before. Sat ceilidh was very good, run by Oxfolk usually 2nd Sat in Kennington.
The room was heated and it was not the best in that respect. Authorities - particularly semi-gov like Unis seem to think there is a H&S regulation issue if rooms are too cold. This, in UK, is false, the guidelines are about being "appropriate" and at the IVFDF one poor lass had a siezure - which if my recollection is correct - is more likely in excessive temperature. And since there is a regulation (legal) that the venue must provide water for drinking, you would think the link to de-hydration would be obvious.
Anyway Cock and Bull were fine, the tunes finished at odd times without warning but if that was the only gripe I think we could say there was no problem - musically.
