So I did the Dartmoor Folk Festival next, and what a pleasant change. Nice and relaxed, lovely village, well organised camping. The only thing that to my mind wasnt quite right was the PA was always way too low. For example watching The Devil’s Interval (a great trio of singers), from the back both the girl’s voices were indistinct from each other and seemed to be drowned out by the bloke’s voice. When I went down the front to take some photos and stood in front of the speakers, you could hear it all. Mind you for a change I could stand in front of the speakers without having my brains blown out by the sound.

Speaking to some people here at Bideford, they had the same problem too with the sound at Dartmoor.
