Well, as far as creature comforts go, most of the festivals I've been
to recently allow motorhomes (or 'motorcaravans' as they are called
over here. In addition, if you plan ahead one can usually find
accommodation near a festival in hotels or B&Bs.

As for sitting on blankets, again, the festivals I've been to
recently don't mind people using folding chairs, however, when it
gets dark and the bands get a little louder, people become more
lubricated it usually ends up being a standing affair.

Here is an example crowd shot that shows how this works, as you'll
see people also use the small "lean to" fisherman's shelters for sun/
rain protection: http://www.flickr.com/photos/bluetiger/214069180/

As for being a 'music hound' here is a link to a book my Dad was
involved (as an editor) which is a great resource for learning about
folk music:

Hadar, as you know I've only been reading the blog for a month or so and I enjoy it very much. I had no idea you were such a music hound! What are your thoughts on multi-day festivals, such as Kerrville or one of the UK folk festivals such as Cambridge or Sidmouth? I'm seriously considering Sidmouth this year, it would be great to see some shows together!
