Subject: RE: Thinking about starting a new festival
The Leveller....Scarborough Seafest (w/e 18th-20th July)....doesn't that count?

I started a weekend minifest last November (The KFFC Winter Warmer Weekend ). Almost like Betsy suggests but with a lot of local & regional bands + a few national names, it sold out the intended 110 tickets, so was succesful within it's own terms of reference.

Doing similar again on November 21st to 23rd (KFFC 1st Big Birthday Bash, all under one roof, indoor & outdoor camping, plenty of hard standing for vans and a good time guaranteed....all this for £20) with:

Last Night's Fun
Mary Humphries & Anahata
Keeper's Fold
Marie Little
Duncan McFarlane & Anne Brivonese
Wendy Arrowsmith
Hamish Currie
Hut People
Brother Crow
Kim Guy
Ian McKone
Jim Potter
Bill Lloyd
Nickie Willis
Tony Levy
Zoe Mulford
Wheezi Anna
Blind Sum'it

Continuous, legendary singarounds, sessions, workshops in a beamed pub (with 3 big rooms!) in a beautiful North Yorks village. Tickets available (pm or email me!) from today, on line sales available in 2 weeks time.

Don't care if the thread is a wind-up, good opportunity for me to tell you about something that is happening!!!
