I always felt that Broadstairs was one of the better organised festivals until this year, when despite filling in forms advising the band's PA needs on the bandstand, the PA guys couldn't even provide enough DI's for the instruments claiming that they were needed at other gigs.
After 21 years of playing, mainly on the bandstand,and generally supporting the festival through thick and thin, and even going so far as to donate our fee back on one occasion, we were all a bit upset to be told we were no longer needed in a brief email.
No way to treat anyone so I would never recomend Broadstairs to anyone. We will be looking elsewhere next year.
