but the fest is used to traditional oulde style Irish folk tunes, so they only had three rent-a-cops in front of the stage. Get a good 200 fans there (which they weren't expecting) in the small tent they had set up for them..and a little hell broke loose. Not a lot of hell..just a little. Plenty of people passing out from heat, getting stepped on, a few moshers who busted their lips. The next day they had the REAL cops there, but not as many people showed up.
My arms and shoulders are bruised from the rent-a-cops stepping on my shoulder to get to the second row of moshers and stage divers. I was up against the barricade in the first row..center. I wasn't moving even if it turned to a lot of hell.
