and the arguments go on and on and on and on.

well I'll still be in the Middle Bar enjoying a song though I know many of my friends are sadly giving Sidmouth a miss this year.

doesn't worry me whether there are concerts on the Ham or not.

I'm not interested in the wurzels, show of hands or the rest.

why not give up on all plans for the Ham just as people have given up on all plans for the arena.

Just give me a beer and some voices in the bar and that'll do me.

What a surprise No response from our im-poster friend. Tell you what, council officer I will explain why I mispelled license - it was a typo - If you can explain why you called East Devon District Council or EDDC by the wrong name.    Cllr (I have never heard anyone else refer to it as East Devon Council that actually worked there)

As an elected councillor Cllr. you know very well why an officer such as myself cannot reveal their identity on a board such as this or indeed to an individual such as yourself who I have never met.

For all I know you might reveal my identity to your own Conservative Party colleagues on the authority I work for. I could then face political pressure which might impact on my ability to do my job and assess licensing and health & safety issues impartially.

As for the name of my district authority I think that as an employee of the authority I probably have a better idea of its name than you do.

I rather regret having responded to a request from a near-neighbour to contribute to this board. I will not be doing so again. Neither will I even be looking at this board again.

Cllr makes the same point as I loaded onto my website this afternoon!

""If you can explain why you called East Devon District Council or EDDC by the wrong name.""

Nobody I know locally says "East Devon Council" and never is it called that in the local paper. It is always EDDC or simply "East Devon" or the full name. Read more here about the public meeting on 11 February also. http://www.seered.co.uk/folk75.htm

I don't usually feed the trolls but getting a rise out of them sure is fun especially when someone is trying to give a bad name to real LGO's by implying that in the past they havn't done their job properly.

PS I have had a flat in sidmouth for over twenty four years and I pay attention to that sort of thing- like what the council is called- it goes with my job description. Cllr

So Cllr. is a Councillor in Bedfordshire with a holiday home in Sidmouth.

Small wonder local kids can't afford a home here in Sidmouth anymore. It's people like who Cllr. who drive up prices yet contribute little to our local economy because you're hardly ever here.

And don't bring your hatred of Council officers onto mudcat either. This is a posting board about folk music and we don't want your cheap political posturing thank you very much.

People like you and rhyzla claim to be pro-festival but your continual sniping is just giving the festival a bad name.

GUEST of 10:29PM, you're so wide off the mark...
You don't know the provenance of Cllr's house in Sidmouth. Perhaps he comes from there originally. And anyway, how does he drive prices up by keeping his house there? It's those who sell their houses that feed the price system.

And you don't know his life style. Perhaps he is there every weekend; perhaps he rents it to holiday makers - surely that brings money into the local economy?

And you don't know that he hates Council Officers. Being one himself, that doesn't stack up.

And you don't know him as a person and his admirable reputation. He may bat for the "wrong" team in my view, but he is liked and admired by supporters (and activists) of all parties.

But no - you had some spleen to vent, and you lashed out regardless. And did so anonymously too, while he even went as far as to disclose his email address in an effort flush out what he genuinely believes to be an impostor.

And like every year for many years now, he will support the Festival by the most important method - being there.

I tell you again - you are off the mark, and an apology to Cllr would be most appropriate.

Peter Crabb-Wyke, rhyzla is the Mudcat name of Barry Hunt...he makes no secret of the fact and often signs his postings with his name. A lot of people on Mudcat have 'nicknames' as you may have noticed. Using one's Mudcat handle is what we do and most of us are known to everybody anyway. You are firing at the wrong people. The ones who don't have the guts are the ones who post as "Guest" with or without a made-up nickname, so that people won't know who they are.

Ahh - that's better!! I'm not a guest anymore.

I declare an interest in Sidmouth festival this year, as I am playing there in a band called Rhyzome - I've got nothing to hide, and the reason I made a rather intolerant post above, is because I am pissed off with the way some people (who prefer to be anon) abuse this board.

We all want the festival to be safe and legal, but the way that the anonymous LGO has brought these matters to light suggests that he is keen to cause mischief, rahter than be helpful. It is becuase of that attitude, that I suggested this poster climb back under his stone.

I'll now go back under mine ......for a while!

similarities between "sidmouth resident" and "council officer" both unable or unwilling to recognise the points I make.

1) I am supporting LGO's as I believe falsely posting as one is detrimental to the reputation of real LGO's (especially implying that they had failed in their duties in previous years.) Hardly hatred more actually supportive. GAME

2) I never mentioned my brand of politics, that was done by the imposter claiming to be in licensing, he was right though I am a conservative, point is I didn't bring it up. SET

3) Anything that gets me and Steve agreeing with each other has got to prove that previous anonymous posters have been well and truly caught out. MATCH

Actually countess, the correct spelling is rhizome, and the srict definition is a root which tends to travel horizontally and allows a plant to regenerate, so your amusing quip about being deep underground is somewhat innacurate!

Can't you all stop this silly name-calling before even I decide to cancel my hotel room in Sidmouth this year.

Every time I check for positive news on what's happening in Sidmouth all I get is 'yah-boo' politics from Councillors, Council Officers, Rhyzla, Lizzie, Roger, Eddie, Countess Richard, Sidmouth Resident(s) and Guests too numerous to mention.

Thank goodness for the SeeRed site that at least contains real news even if the news is not very positive.

It may be old news but I have just seen the 'farewell' posted by Steve Heap on his website. Some news about what he is planning elsewhere.

http://www.sidmouthfestival.com/

By the way, I have just changed over from Gates Explorer to Firefox as an experiment because Hotmail was so slow. Seems much better (except it seems not to allow RTF in Hotmail.....), and according to Tech posts here and elsewhere it is far less liable to be a target for malware. The mudcat site renders differently - so does SeeRed come to that. Back to the drawing board! Would seriously recommend people try it. Obtain from mozilla.com - and it is free. Just don't delete Explorer because Windows needs it to run even if you don't use it as the default browser.

A very diplomatic farewell from Steve Heap.

His comments about lawmakers and businesses hopefully supporting future events suggest (reading between the lines) that he feels they didn't give enough support in the past.

Good luck to Steve in whatever he does from now on.

He gave us a great festival in Sidmouth over many years.

So sad it will never be the same again.

You said

"Thank goodness for the SeeRed site that at least contains real news even if the news is not very positive".

Thats as maybe, but you should also be checking www.sidmouthfolkweek.org for what the organisers are saying.

It is my belief that the seered site has a wider agenda and is using the Festival issues to get at the local authorities because of other matters that have got up his nose.
