from nigelswift:

"Who can doubt that Silbury's best interest, whatever it is, is best served by it being in the public spotlight, or that lack of transparency has been the whole problem from the start?"

I concur fully, Nigel, and I think it would be interesting to hear from BrigantesNation and the other Thornborough Festival organisers to investigate the nuances and niceties of getting something off the ground for Silbury - under a HA banner perhaps?

First thing you need is a venue. If its a farm field its a lot more organising. Best to be approached by a hundred musicians insisting you put on a festival - as happened with me.

The problem with Silbury, with regard to a festival, is it's in Wiltshire. The Stonehenge free festivals were brutally stopped by the police and they are still paranoid about any mention of a festival. That's why there are severe restrictions at Avebury at summer solstice time. Pressure is applied by the police on any landowner who appears to be sympathetic to a gathering on their land.
