But not in the festival itself where the big names are!

Next- lets see how free it really is-

What was the price of a pint in the pubs that had music?
Dont think it was cheap for some reason.......

Musicians used to bring in people to be ripped off...not exactly friendly.....

I shall wait for a report.

I am always surprised that folk musicians, poor folk that they claim to be always seem to hold sings and sessions at the most expensive places. If one drinks properly one can only afford to attend for a few minutes.
