JAN: How was the folk music festival?

RUBY Not bad. It rained most of the time although.

Jan: That's no fun when you're in a tent.

RUBY: I know! In spite of my tent's quite a good one, it still let the rain in.

JAN: Were the bands good?

RUBY: Well, but some of the first few acts weren't great, most of them were. Actually, even however we were quite near the front, it wasn't always easy to hear the music

JAN: Was there a problem with the sound system?

RUBY: I think so, yes. Oh, one thing that was great was the food. It was delicious, despite to be mainly vegetarian!

JAN: So you've developed a teste for vegetarian food, have you?

RUBY: Not really. Although enjoying it at the festival, I don't think I could eat it all the time.
