It can be quite funny listening to some of those who are invited as they either try not to let on that THEY are going when others can't, or trying after the weekend to be casual in their name dropping. The process is very political and convoluted, and though I suppose that if I were good enough, I'd like the opportunity to see and hear that many very good performers and, usually friends, in one place without the klutzes that attend many open festivals, still I hear many sad stories about how it all works.
