Festivals will charge you to use their electricity as part of the pitch fee, or through metering useage. The bigger barrier is serving alcohol. Festivals have their own bar contractors, as a general policy will not have any other vendors offering alcohol in general trading and food outlets...

Now cancelled. Announced on twitter and fb about 20 minutes ago.

Well at least you’re not leaving it ‘til the last minute. Poor answer options on multichoice and very broad definition questions.

Budget of £150,000, that doesn’t go far these days. Totally unrealistic to get anything like the line-ups they’ve been putting on in recent years with that. But they won’t draw the numbers they have been getting with any less than a line-up of a similar status, which means their food and drink rake, merch sales and car parking fees will be less as well.

Rowdy energetic teens? That must be a different festival you’re thinking of!

Do you want me to write your dissertation for you as well?

I see many impossibly shit surveys this time of year by desperate studes who post and then disappear. This one is right up there in the impossibly shit stakes.

Forgot it had moved weekends this year so Blossoms are possible.

Is there any significantly sized festival this summer where either NG or LG isn’t playing?

It’s dissertation season. Unable to answer due to incoherent questioning.

No!

Yeah I knew about Truck - and of course, Y-Not, which was even worse, with the Sunday cancelled.
