Do you need it? Anyway, I enjoyed Woodstock, however it was tinted with a nasty taste of corporate greed. What annoyed me most along with the money grapping university and the licensed area was the fact I could not see the bands as the stage was too low, I know there are numerous logistical and safety problems with higher stages (rigging needs to be higher so does the marquee) but its a shame I could not see them, True Ingredients I think I saw a bit of a leg in the air. Well done to the technical team they did it for free and spent many many hours on this project. After waiting in the queue for an hour and a half to see Fenna Rodes and having their set cut short, maybe my comments where written in the heat of the night, but they did it so well last year seems a shame not to do it as well. One last word, well done all the bands and well done Kate for organising something you had so much trouble with, its very hard when you are up against a large organisation like York University. did not give permission to quote me.
