Thread Name: Practicalities of a small 'festival'?
Subject: RE: Practicalities of a small 'festival'?
"I'd like to keep things more simple and acoustic (although amplified, if you know what I mean), rather than have electric guitars, huge drum kits, effects racks, synths etc."
KISS - if you have ANY 'amplification' - it always gets out of hand - louder and louder. My preference is that if the singers can't be heard unamplified, then either they can't sing :-P or everything ELSE is just too loud, or the area is far too big 'for a small festival' :-)
You CAN allow 'battery amps' so some people can play their 'busking setups' :-) No gear to worry about then... :o)
