This essay was no un-critical celebration, but a wide-ranging impression of the festival by an interested creative writer. 'Anonymous' obviously does not feel comfortable at such events and is perhaps missing out.a futr attendeenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15916138.post-85709424185420023542011-05-17T07:27:46.458-07:002011-05-17T07:27:46.458-07:00for my money I dont see why Mr Slatchers essay pro...for my money I dont see why Mr Slatchers essay provoked such a hostile reponse.

Full of bile and bitterness but never willing to back it up with an identity!! Adrian, in my humble opinion this is a brilliant review of a dynamic and thought provoking festival.
