Many times through the weekend, I noticed that the West Holts Jazz stage was nowhere near capacity, indeed Pieminister and the Brothers Bar often seemed a bigger draw in that field. By contrast the John Peel tent was near enough rammed every time I walked past.
Is it not time to switch these 2 stages programming over?
West Holts gets a decent crowd, especially for the headline acts, who are often world class and very difficult to see anywhere else in the UK. The music / vibe works better outdoors than in a tent. John Peel does get rammed, but the bands who play there work well in that kind of environment, it is a little darker and more edgy. I wouldn't like to see them changed round.
Perhaps having screens outside John Peel would work well, or seeing if you can get a bigger tent.
