"There's a lot of problems behind the scenes at Sidmouth this year."
I don't know where you got this information from but I can assure you that there are absolutely no issues, problems or disasters 'behind the scenes'. Those of us who are putting in a lot of hard work and effort in voluntary positions to provide this festival do not appreciate speculation and rumour of this manner.
Please pay no attention to Bunion as he/she is completely wrong. I would like you all to rest assured that the Sidmouth Folk Week WILL go ahead in 2008 and it promises to be a fabulous week for all.
