I have to agree, we purpoosely left home late, arriving on the holding field at 4pm but were still kept there for two hours, not really acceptable. Plus I've had problems with the new ticket distributers. I asked for camping on the accessible field only to be told that the organisers have now stipulated that they will not accept a blue badge as evidence of a disability, and that they require evidence of PIP or attendance allowance or a letter from a GP stating your disability. This I think is discrimination, I really don't think that a ticket selling agency should have to see evidence from your medical records. A blue badge is not easy to get and I believe should be enough evidence of a persons request for access to the accessible field.


Got a reply from Nick.

He said "Blue badge is fine for parking but not for camping and not been for years. Nothing has changed from the transition to CT as it is the same people doing the same job we are in the process of updating the clarification on line."

I suggest you contact him direct if you want further clarification. nick@newforestfolkfestival.co.uk


A blue badge was accepted by the ticket distributers last year

Enjoying the new Phoebe Bridgers single. There is a great YouTube clip of it from a TV show featuring a live band of youngish kids who are excellent.


She's very good, ain't she...  Both (completely different, one with talented 'youngsters', the other with talented oldies) versions on the Tonight programme are well worth YouTubing...

Thoughts are ongoing

Since decisions aren't down to us, all we can do is make suggestions.

It's up to you what you choose to do.
Sadly I've already decided. Just can't  do it as it stands.

Al Stewart, on the other hand, is a lifelong (well, for over 40 years anyway) favourite of mine.


Well that makes (at least) two of us..... Wink

Have any thoughts been given to the holding field yet. I would love to go next year but can't commit as it stands.

From the desk of Mr. Stephen Foster:

Back on Hospital Radio Ipswich and ICR FM tonight with the Monday Music Mix. https://www.ipswichcommunityradio.com/show/hri-live/

My guests are Helen Mulley and Shane Kirk from Helen and The Neighbourhood Dogs. Hear them at 8-30pm and 9-30pm in a two part interview celebrating the release of the band’s new mini album.

All from 8 this evening on Ipswich’s longest running radio stations - you know it makes sense.
