So you are the peripheral, who try to get everything for now't then. The hangers on of the folk festivals.

Or am I misjudging you.

You may well support the festival and by your ticket and then go to the singarounds. If so, I tilt my hat to you.

Festivals are expensive to run these days (I am talking about the bigger ones) and if they are going to survive, they need every one that goes along to buy the tickets, not try and get a free ride.
