It's also EXTREMELY crowded . . . which is fine if you like that sort of thing. And has the worse-natured crowd I've ever encountered at a Folk event (OK, it's only a minority but I still find it detracts from the enjoyment; it's the only place I've found "folkies" who are the worse for drink a total pain in the arse).

That said, the efforts it makes to accomodate the disabled are hugely commendable (well, they appear so to this observer).

So it's one place you're never likely to find me, despite it being only 7 miles from home (and having Carlos Nunez on this year's bill . . )
