My sympathy is for those who paid over £100 in all good faith and have been stiffed. As Will Fly says above, where has that money gone ? If the festival couldn't afford to pay the Beverley Racecourse what they were due last year, [ which seems to be the case ], then their financial problems are a year old, so why were they even contemplating a festival this year when they hadn't paid all the bills from last year ?
