This could have been a brilliant event if a bit more thought went into it. The Stranglers were fantastic as usual and if they had not been playing the tiny audience would have only been the other bands playing and a few of their followers. 
I will be very surprised if this festival will be on next year as the organisers must be facing a huge financial loss. 
It was probably bad timing with The Greenman Festival(just down the road) & V Festival on at the same time. 
I totally agree with the other comments made and hope this does go ahead next year. But have more than one big name and far more advertising. 

3/10

I heard different feedback including the challenges of the date change. The music was really good and enjoyable. 
If I were the promoter ,, the organising committee I would think about the following :

- the need for the temporary road right through the car park

- marketing, media , advertising - this needs a thorough review and learn from what other festivals do 

- sunday morning , no refreshment stalls or  cafes open - people I spoke to would have bought a breakfast plus coffee , tea etc

- write to the stall holders and apologise for nos - they all want the festival to grow and to help you

- road signs, lots of complaints, suggest there is a better map on the web as well. One lady took over 5 hours to get from Newport in wales - over 3 hours was spent trying to get local instructions 

As usual there are  the thoughts about bins and toilets -  if there are more people next year , bins and toilets need emptying regularly 


Variety of music - people thought a wider variety of music would help. I'd suggest a reggae / dub tent as well, people like to dance

Information/ directions - I suggest you have plans put up around the site showing the different stages locations etc. 

Also info. about which bands are playing on which stages - sell a simple £1 programme with proceeds going to charity , this is what they do at farmfest - if you need more programmes, just hop into Hereford and get more copies.People didn't know what was happening at what time, and where. They couldn't keep going back to the entrance for info

Cider - in Hereford you expect good quality cider , not the fizzy stuff, which I find rubbish. There is proper cider in abundance around Hereford 

However, overall, most things were well thought out , the music good , food choice good and a very good weekend. 

The thing is don't give up. The pricing , tent stages , main stage were well set up . Music esp stranglers were top notch , keep going, but do get a plan of action in place by end October this year for next years festival  

Suggest you have a look at other low cost fests and see how they go about things

thanks for putting the festival on , I'll be back



  

learn and move on 

I think everyone who turned up, all the wonderful musicians, their supporters and the vendors were dealt a very poor hand here. I hope you'll be contacting all of the bands to apologise.
£30 a ticket was a hell of a hike from the fiver charged last year.  We came to support our favourite band and to see other people putting their soul and talent out there.  If we hadn't been following Toadstool, nothing would have persuaded us to spend £90 to attend this event.  Around £10 each plus an extra charge for those camping would have been acceptable.  
No tickets to be bought at the gate.  Why?  Who were you worried would be turning up unannounced - an audience?
I saw signs for the festival for the first time as we were leaving.  Did the guy putting them up do so on his way home to have his tea?
Bars in ALL marquees please, or somewhere separate altogether from the music so people have to move about to find a band they like.  Great music was missed because people got comfortable in the only marquee with the seating AND the bar.  Very unfair on the other bands - including the main stage.
Had anyone actually turned up, you'd have had real trouble with the state of the access, not just the few we saw getting caught in the mud.
Other than that - a great weekend.  Share we couldn't share it with loads of other people.

Heads will probably roll on Monday
