A really good festival!
I think the Bulverton is not so good as a performance venue, perhaps because it's so far out of town
We went to see Ember up there and they were brilliant.
Clever lyrics, excellent musicians and entertaining. It's good to see
new performers with their own material.
But why shove them out on the edge?
I'd like to see them in the Art Centre!
As for putting the New Rope String Band on in the Bedford, there were more people locked out than could get in!

Dare I say this?
Is it time to change?
Maybe put another tent up in the town? For performance?
Dump the Bedford and get another decent mid size venue?
