Hi, Folkiedave, trust me as a festival organised I & my wife are lucky to see any of the performances during our festival, we rarely even have time to enter a session or workshop.
There have been times when an artist has arrived, played, been paid & gone without us even meeting them ( that sounds like piss poor plannig or even "rude" but it's not it is just a fact of life ). That used to happen in the times of Stanford in the vale as we where spread accross the village.
Regards Skipy
