The unfortunate downside to running a festival is income who is going to stand the loss for rooms ,artists booked, mail costs, phone bills, traveling etc. The organising is relativly easy and that is not belittling anyone that runs a festival after the cost you have upset punters,,,, upset artists to much rain to much sun keeping people away.Your own personel stress levels have to be managed After all that what I am saying is I take my hat off to anyone that runs a festival and they have my deepest respect Those of you with ambition to help do think it out.
But remember if you do it you will after the festival have a great feeling of satisfaction till you start putting the next one together
