Your experience is one of the reasons I would never, ever go to a festival like Glastonbury - and my tenting days are firmly over.

I went up to Bradfield in the High Peak for the Saturday of their traditional music weekend (staying at a hotel on Saturday night at Bamford). There was a great session in the Royal at Dungworth on the lunchtime, a ceildh with various acts in the evening in Low Bradfield, followed by another late evening session in the Royal. Plenty of space to park, friendly people, glorious scenery and weather - and more concertinas and melodeons than you could shake a stick at (great for a guitarist).

I'm sorry you had such a negative time - perhaps if you'd been Bruce Springsteen it might have been slightly easier...
