Jim King is officially a Legend

[DeanoH76]

what a guy for coming on here an answering all our questions, Gripes & moans!!

All weaker festivals and larger ones please take note!!

[Elbear]

Oh aye. Utter hero in the festival books.

[Da_J_Doc-~]

Agreed.

[Paul ™]

Yeah always a good thing to happen.

Quite a few smaller festival organisers do the same on here already, and Rob Da Bank posts on his Bestival forum regularly answering questions and stuff

[rexclark]

It's great knowing someone cares for your opion rather than look at you with pound signs in there eyes thinking kerching!

[Kowalski]

He gave some very good answers.

[plastic_tramp]

Agreed. Top class shows the organisers actually do give a f**k about the people who come to their festival, and not just about the money in their pockets

[Hebn2themix]

Legend, loads of respect for him after showing that he realy cares

[andrewandrew]

Such a small thing you know just an hour and already i feel ALOT better about the festival , bring it on!

[festivalchick77]

[smutchie]

Wish i'd manage to get online when he was, v.impressed with the answers though, he didn't try and avoid any questions.

[tonyonekenobi]

.....And he would be able to spot Daft Punk in Tesco!!

He said a couple of things I have been bleating about for ages but 2 of them stand out.....

.....biggest isnt always best and people dont want another T in my view.

Yeah but this year there is a lack of middle of the road electro bands/acts. :-(

Altho he did suggest they lost out on a lot of acts to titp!

Hopefully they tried for the likes of Passion Pit, Friendly Fires, M83, Littleboots etc.

I like him even more now that he's said he tried getting Yuksek to play. Looks like he may well be coming next year now fingers crossed

[Fizzy2734]

I have utmost respect for this man, answered questions honestly and shows he cares about the punter and not the pound!

[Fizzy2734]

I've had a few email conversations with him over the past few months, he sounds like a very decent bloke!

[Kowalski]

And clearly you know your music also.

Is there anything extra you could tell me that he may have passed on to you?

[Hexagon Eye]

Really did enjoy reading through the Q'S and A's, i may have a few for him for his next visit. And i agree, he never dodged any tricky questions and was very honest and informative. Respect.
