"It was pretty good back in the 70s but that sort of amateurism simply does not appeal to today's festival goer."
a generalisation, todays festival folk goers appear to have differing tastes some like festivals with lots of singarounds some people prefer concerts, some people like a mix. guest Morriss ey, seems to be good at making uninformed statements and being rude.
just because someone runs a festival as a hobby and is amateurish in the sense that they arenot running a festival purely for commercial profiut but are running it to break even does not mean that their approach as regards organisation such as publicity or providing good facilties is amateurish, guest morriss sey has just made a sweeping generalisatrion that denigrates the efforts of many hard working passionate well organised festival organisers
