I’m not taking it personally. Your blog was less damning of the festival than last year. I have seen it 2 years now and thought it was very good. We get very few bookings each year so we were very grateful to get through the application process twice. I can say they do listen to the applicants.

Hi, I know of other bands who’ve applied over a number of years and never got a look in. I know many people share my view that the festival keeps rehashing the same music. So sorry if you feel I’m criticising you personally. But that stage every year features bands and individuals who’ve played year in year out. I’ve obviously confused you. I thought I saw your band tagged on my Flickr with three different years. But you did play last year. My point is that there’s more than enough music that fits the ‘ROTW’ bill for them not to rehash bands.
