Do clouds have different linings?

Audience members took time to fill out two sets of questionnaires this year (two festivals to celebrate our tenth birthday). Might their feedback reflect seasonal changes, differences in tone between the two?

With the nifty aid of word cloud generator Tagxedo - you simply copy and paste the whole of the comments column, press submit and customise the appearance - here's the comparison.

Main Festival February 24 to March 11

May Festival 4 to 20 May

























Same but different? Might be the colour palette talking, but the May version seems more, kind of... funky. That figures. It was. Trying out new stuff can be very bracing and we've acquired a taste for it.
