I can't decide what caused this. Yes, the kids do react this way; excitement about a festival in town, pubs cashing in and making cheaper drinks available. Kids showing off and being territorial. I dare say over the generations it's always been the same, but where are the session players? Can't they afford to come this year? Is it that the festival has somehow managed to keep everyone down on the site? Has this become an 'us and them' situation? There's usually a core of people who only come for the fringe, are they not there? I remember not being able to get into a pub for singers and musicians, and there being 'lock-ins'. Last night was not a typical Bromyard fest Saturday night.
