Thread Name: Blitherscrum under threat this year.
Subject: Blitherscrum under threat this year.
Blitherscrum Folk Festival is under threat this year for a few reasons.
1) Finances are short as sponsorship has ceased from the Blitherscrum Womens Institute.
2)Some of the artists approached are not interested in performing this year after the fiasco with the toilets last year.
3) 'Jezlo' 'Elgree Co' and 'Vinegar Butt' are booked elsewhere for that weekend
4) The campsite is no longer available as it is being used for genetically modified crops (humungous tomatoes)
5) Eddie Baker owns many of the fields nearby and as we all know he can cause mayhem.
If anyone has a suggestion for a different venue we would be obliged if you would let us know. Or any ideas to help us solve the various problems.
Best wishes from 'The Committee'
