hmm why don’t those of you who are “locals” all write to West Berks Council with a formal complaint that the sound
wasn’t loud enough?
You paid a lot to be there and you’re all over 18 so can vote and presumably either pay Council Tax yourself or contribute to your families payment in housekeeping etc, so have every right to make your voices heard..
The first few Glade festivals were also a concession/climbdown for having less illegal raves in the Thames Valley, as some crews put their efforts into sorting out this festival instead of illegals (it even led to some acrimonious arguments what split some of the crews in this area at that time). As to an extent the “normal society” have got what they wanted, I think in return the older locals simply have to put up with a bit of noise for one weekend, particularly with people paying (I think) over £100 for tickets.
to be honest mate there is nothing i would like to do more than write a letter but realistically … it will get read but not heard … even after the Glade organisers GAVE aldermaston village ALL their back up gennys last year and the Glade fire truck to pump water out of peoples houses i find it just a complete and utter farce … dont get me wrong i appreciate they want their sleep and dont share the same appreciation for our music that we do but they gain so much from the festival … Glade actual gives the community money to put into the village kitty, alongside a mass of business for the local shop and surrounding pubs and hotel. for gods sake its three days.
i was in work on the tuesday and a lady came in she looks at my wrist band and says …
”o, so you where there were you?”
to which i replied …
”yyeeahhhhhhhhh loved it”
then got an absolute earful about how her and her husband live four miles away and jeez louise she didnt shut up …
Aldermaston … brghhhhhhhhhh :yakk:
and g.l i would write it but i cant write letters for sh*t … in answer to your original statement 😉
Rant over 🙂
