Having reflected on the fringe / main festival in Beverley in future years, I think I may have been a bit rash in thinking a separate fringe might be for the better. I believe the two need to run together as they are complementary, and even season ticket holders of the main festival cannot get in to see all the main shows, even if they wanted to. It also gives the main acts the chance to get out and meet some of the fans and to take in some entertainment themselves.

They may be performers, but they also need feedback and an awareness of whats going on around them.

All the best for this years festival and hope to be back in 2006
