for me I think the music wasn't my thing which is fine, some of the bands I liked, some I thought were shite but because there was no where in the main bit where you weren't in the line of the music (and all of the tents at once if you were sat in the middle) did my head in - there was no fucking escape anywhere
none of that will stop me going again mind

Aye, well, I reckon a torch will work just as well for them as it does for me! Still, a bit of low level lighting probably won't break the bank for the festy.

I think it's great that a festival supports local talent over and above big names. More power to them.
The only suggestion I have is to tell the security where people can get more information on who is playing - I asked them about where to buy programmes and they didn't know. Once I'd found it myself I told them myself though.

Bollocks. It's fuck all to do with 'burlesque'. Even Glade has a cabaret tent and it was packed to the rafters nightly. Festivals have been places to see theatre cabaret and comedy since day dot. Not everyone wants to listen to shite music and suck laughing gas out of balloons.

I imagine the torch thing might not work as well for anyone with sensory/balance/co-ordination/spasm problems. Hopefully the organisers will take that on board re lighting.

love is the answer
I agree - I wouldn't change Endorse It for the world, and it's definitely my favourite festival - even though I only saw a few bands that I really really liked. For me a festival is all about the atmosphere and the people. Good music is a bonus. I heard enough good music to make me very happy, and I even found quite a bit of house - yay!

Hopefully, they'll have enough money left in the budget to put on the festival after too.

Its sunny somewhere.
Its an outdoor festival, you need to carry a torch or get someone else to do it for you. They get dark at night.

You're suggesting that the price of some extra lighting is prohibitive to the point that they might not be able to put on a festival
What part of reasonable adjustments to take account of disability/accessibility don't you get? And the emphasis is on "reasonable" here - no-one's suggesting flood lighting (as I stressed earlier).

It wasn't that dark! Full moon every night - didn't have any problems walking around without a torch - only need the torch for the tent/toilet inspection really.

I spose it's somewhere for those with no fucking taste whatsoever to go. Although it would be much better if they just stayed at home of course.

are we there yet?
No, it wasn't. I'm also a little
by anyone having problems with the lighting. My vision goes completely doolally in low light (old age
)and I found it ok - didn't even need a torch.

Yeah and I'm a similar age to you felix, and I also have those getting older things. The difference is that I don't have a condition where my ability to balance and co-ordinate is impeded. Though I do accept that at any moment in time I could contract such a condition - as could any of you.

Exactly - there are already plenty of festivals that offer that kind of thing, so Endorse It doesn't necessarily need to.

Or possibly those with some brain cells left
Like I said, I had a good time. I just don't get this whole 'Best Festie Evah!!' stuff
I was lucky in that I was able to spend the time with some top quality people but to be honest if I'd gone there expecting the 'Best Festie Evah!!' I'd have been pretty pissed off.

Not sure anyone was denying her problems. A torch certainly seems the simple solution though.

Pretty silly to go anywhere expecting it to be the best ever. Bound to feel let down.

Why would it be such a problem if it did, though? Just because you don't like it doesn't mean it's a bad thing per se. Surely there's room for all sorts, not just people whose musical tatstes are stuck somewhere between 1980 and 1990

Do not try and bend the spoon...
I can't really believe that anyone goes camping, festival or otherwise, without a torch

Well, just from readng this thread alone a person could be forgiven for expecting something a tad different. It was a bit of a shock if I'm honest and on the first day someone had already recieved a text from me saying 'Endorse it is shit'
As soon as I relaxed into the fact that there wasn't going to be much that I'd like in the way of entertainment I could focus on the folk I was with and enjoyed it that way.

A torch isn't a simple solution when you're trying to deal with the balance/co-ordination/involuntary spasms (which of course affects where the fucking torch is pointed at).
