点评:Daytime all good,nice vibe, beautiful site, friendly workers, interesting and diverse music..just like WOMAD was in the old days even if everything costs triple the outside price (£8 for a coffee anyone?)
Nightime it's a different experience,banging DJ sets with thumping bass until 4am,an hour or so of drunk people shouting and tripping over tents before all the babies wake up and start crying at 5am.
A lot of people around me were severely distressed by the exhaustion caused by lack of sleep,some left early because of it.I took a tiny tent to the furthest reaches of the site,over the brow of the hill,to get away from the racket and get some sleep which most aren't able to do.
WOMAD organisers..most of your customers are older people who don't want to stay up all night or families with children..if you continue to alienate the majority of people who buy tickets then you'll find that,like me,they won't be coming back to pay through the nose at a festival where it's not possible to get proper sleep.
翻译:白天一切都很好:氛围宜人,场地漂亮,工作人员友善,音乐也既有趣又多样化……简直就是昔日WOMAD festival的翻版,尽管所有东西的价格都是外界的三倍(咖啡要卖8英镑呢!)
到了夜晚则完全是另一番景象:震耳欲聋的DJ演出伴随着强烈的低音一直持续到凌晨4点;随后有一个小时左右的时间,醉汉们大喊大叫、在帐篷间跌跌撞撞;最后到了凌晨5点,所有婴儿都醒了过来,开始啼哭。
我周围很多人都因睡眠不足而疲惫不堪、痛苦不堪。有些人因此提前离开了。我带了一顶小帐篷,走到营地最偏远的地方,翻过小山丘,只为远离喧嚣、睡上一觉——而大多数人都没能做到这一点。
WOMAD的组织者们……你们的观众大多是不想彻夜不眠的老人,或是带着孩子的家庭……如果你们继续疏远那些购票的大多数人,那么你们会发现,像我这样的人也会离开的。他们不会再回来,不会在那个连好好睡觉都办不到的音乐节上花大价钱了。
