Subject: RE: Butlins Great British Folk Fest 2011
That's interesting, I noticed that the Reds was closed on a couple of occasions, I purchased a skyline pass so I spent all the weekend up there, this is why I can't really comment, it would be unfair of me. However! I saw people forced into area's that were really out of the way to enjoy anything from the stage, also in area's near the toilets that were quite smelly and actually felt cold. Both my wife and I commented on what we saw. We also had friends there and I guess they only spent a small amount of time in the music venue's due to not wanting to queue for hours and therefore not getting a suitable place(and I don't blame them in those temperatures) so maybe the festival isn't as glamorous as I indicate. I felt really sorry for some people who were put in that situation0, so I hope that the real organisers can be found and some form of compensation sought.
