Subject: RE: Tenterden Folk Festival 2012
IMHO Tenterden has always outranked Faversham - historically and currently it has had an excellent range of top quality folk musician guests, and usually excellent song/sessions - for example in the 8 Bells and a more formal "club" upstairs with Bob and Kath until alas the 8 Bells was lost to the temple of mammon (or is it gammon?).

It is a delight to have the Woolpack back - the beers in the barn were excellent and the acoustics there absolutely fantastic (and the portaloos there were constantly clean and well lit once turned on).

English weather in October will always be a gamble, but for the most part the drier section of the field was OK. Maybe an arrangement could be made with the local AWDC - a display of 4*4s and on-tap-towing - or a "clearway" along the very crest into a higher section of the hard yard and mandatory sensible parking - vans pointing DOWNHILL herringbone fashion off the crest so on exit they turned north (ish) towards the tree then came back along the dry crest.
