Hello Mr Happy, If your response is to my post, I do not conclude that people in public houses need tickets. I merely meant to point out that festivals are organised, calendered events. Howerer,without organisation, often volunteer led, many festivals would not exist. By all means have your fringe events. I have myself participated in such for more than 30 years, while also engaged in performance. I do believe, however,that we must acknowledge our responsibility to those who bring it all together and make these events happen.
