| Isn't the festival shorter than it used to be anyway? I'm sure it is more evening focused during the weekdays now. I think the advertising at the entry and exit to tube stations is brilliant as too many people just automatically go to work and and come home and forget that there should and could be more to life than work. Rest and relaxation is important to reduce the stress that otherwise could lead to more expensive intervention. It is an easy way to meet up with friends and neighbours. People are often time poor as well as financially poor. The festival is an introduction to music for many and a showcase and opportunity for new performers. It is also sponsored by a beer company isn't it? Personally I'd like to see more exciting non-alcoholic drinks for sale - I remember a delicious smoothie bar one year - but alcohol seems to be sold so cheaply nowadays that this may not be a feasible option but it would be nice to have a really good choice. |
