Pre-festival
publicity puffery. part 1.
"We're
going to set a new standard for this and future festivals "
Hmmm, yesssss indeedy. To be charitable I suppose one can
say that the intentions were good, but the reality was somewhat different .
Thanks go to Mick Etherington for providing me with copies of the pre-festival
publicity screed which actually bears about as much resemblance to the reality
of the festival as a rancid halibut does to a well thumbed copy of the Kama
Sutra .
