Hi,
just wanted to provide some feedback on the Music Festival. My wife and i attended with friends. Great venue and while not a stellar line up it was more than entertaining. The facitlites were fine and the paella was a winner. Couple of negatives to work on was when you say no alcohol and no glass you must then sell beer or let people BYO beer. This was a major downer. Also 2 bands going at same time caused poor sound for a number of acts on both stages. You need to move the smeall stage to the other side of the winery building or only have them play in the breaks between bands which you could make 15-20 minutes. great first effort and we will be back.
Cheers
Mark
Thanks Mark, I’m sorry to say our licence doesn’t allow BYO beer, HOWEVER, very good news, we’ve now got a Wine and Beer Producers licence… that’s going to bring a bit of joy we’d suspect to aficionados of the amber ale.
And yes, we didn’t quite the separation needed between the two stages. Next year we’ll get that sorted. Be great to see you back next year.
