Right,i feel i have to jump in here and say something..i don't actually visit these kind've forums any more as i am constantly shocked at certain people who do nothing but sit there moaning and criticising every event that comes along,without,i am sure,an ounce of sense or knowledge of the actual workings of them...yes,this and that happened,things were changed,and so what? You were till getting 5 days of constant entertainment over 2 stages in a really gorgeous place...with no sound limitations..compare that to the majority of festivals we get here,three days in the rain and mud with music finishing around midnight after spending the last couple of hours at reduced volumes! What Teo and the guys lack in experience,they make up for in enthusiasm and passion for what they do..i think some people have a pretty dumb idea of what these kind of promoters are like..you seem to think because the ticket price seems high to you,or your shade was not in the right place,that the promoters don't care,and are all ready to run off on a luxury holiday straight after the festival to sit counting wads of cash....NOT SO! These things are very often run to the wire with budgets,plus unforseen things can add further to that..the guys were trying their damnest to sort everyone out..hard to believe for some people,but promoters like this are actually wanting the same as you...to have a wonderful party with good music and good people in a beautiful location..and if it wasn't for people like this,that actually get up off their arses and chase a dream,then none of us would be out partying at all..i know some of you are probably thinking,'oh,its all right for him,he's in a well known band and had it easy',but i can assure you i had my own fair share of problems..i aint going into it here cos it don't matter,but the reason i soldiered through it and kept faith,was because i have always found the greeks to be happy,positive,big hearted people and great fun to be around..the guys running around in the background to make it all happen were amazing,the drivers,the stage crews,sound guys,all of them stayed positive and determined to make it all happen..and i bet most of them did it for peanuts,i know as many of my friends work at these kinda things..anyway,i thought i would say this before certain people come steaming in and rip the whole thing to pieces...''sometime's,we fall short of our expectations,but at least we bloody tried.....''

..but there is something that i have to admit and to say..that i had the oportunity to hear some really great artists,so, many thanks to those who gave me some magical moments that i will never forget!!!
