      I’d like to see all age groups catered for.

      It does appear that tuneful music has gone; I’d love to see the Noland Sisters given a hour on stage, or what about old Cliff? Then perhaps my wife and I just might feel in the mood for dancing and go off on a summer holiday:-)

      Everything these days seems to be noise, crash, bang and wallop. And males and female singers all sound the same to me; ordo I need a hearing aid
      perhaps?

      I’ve bought a bivouac for two:-) See you all in June; in the V.I.P. area as usual:-)

    Depends if you spend time to train your ears to be honest. Does it sound like noise to you? – most music with meaning isn’t easily accessible. Most accessible music becomes three chord pop – watered down simpleness for the masses.

    The Isle of Wight caters for the most mainstream of music fans – where music is actually nothing but signals from a radio, not a statement or a lifestyle. If you want a real music-lifestyle heavy festival, come along to stokesbay or groezrock and see whats going down.
