The Rose and Lion had a pleasant sing around on Friday, mainly a club from Norfolk, the "leader" asked if I would like to sing after a few moments, even though he did not know me. This fizzled out towards late afternoon, as beer, at £2.00 a pint, was too tempting. There was also a music session going on.
I feel that many festival goers now regard Bromyard town, at night as a threatening place, and this was mentioned to me by a member of the staff at the Rose and Lion. He said it was caused by locals, and was a year round problem.
For this reason, and others, the Festival site is very well packed at night.
A highlight, for me, was an 8 person Watersons set on Saturday night. This was fantastic, and felt like an historical occasion.

I have never seen intimidating behavior on the site, in over 20 years, just a little skylarking, from time to time.
