Broadstairs I am afraid is slowly killing itself, it still has the "oh look at me Im important" organisation, this is still alive and well among certain "friends" of the organisers.
Many of the regular attendees both performers and general public especially those on camp site B, are treated as second class, while those on site A are the "important" people, well sorry, my partner and myself having supported the so called festival from year one wont be back. I feel for the pub performers who try to sing or play, when the chavs hit town, blocking the lower road, my partner who is in his eighties was abused jostled, generally insulted, by these yobs, in full sight of so called stewards who refused to help him , and in one case, the steward pointed and laughed at our plight, also in one pub I cant remember which, the landlord put the juke box on whilst people were trying to sing.
Broadstairs to my thinking has become a giant money machine despite the many claims to the opposite.
I hope more people vote with their feet next year.
