Guest, on holiday, I don't know who you are, but if you like the sessions but not the "thudding bass and drums" in the concerts down at the festival site, why would you have paid all that money for the festival? Surely you could have come just for the sessions in the town - for free. The festival site is far enough away from the town to not interfere with what is happening up there in any way!

Sounds like you are trying to make a Strong Statement by saying here that you are not coming, because you didn't like the tactless response you got. Now if you were to take your objections to the festival organisers and told them why you weren't coming, it might serve some purpose. If enough people would address their concerns to the relevant people - ie via feedback forms, who knows, they might even get results.

Some of the festivals (in fact a lot of them) now have loud concerts in the marquee tents and they are not to everyone's taste - particularly when venues are too close together and the sound bleeds from one to the other, however, I don't remember Bromyard being worse than others in this regard.
