Interesting there's no mention it's now 80% owned by Live Nation and while Pinkham is still a director his trust only owns 10%

That's true - and that backing is a big part of the reason the festival's still around. Hamish has said as much to me. It's always hard to know how much biz and industry chat to leave in or take out - but I think you're right, that was probably worth a mention. Cheers for pointing it out... and roll on Christmas :)

Yeah I wasn't really suggesting anything except I'm sure the injection of capital and the backing of perhaps the biggest music promoter in the world is part of the reason it's still going and got through various crises (and why he can happily bbq bacon for a loss at his local park lol) so probably a relevant part of the story. An interesting read nonetheless
