If I knew a way of doing it on Mudcat, I'd attach a copy of the fringe programme. Suffice it to say that most of what we did last year in the PVFF survives into the fringe - the main casualty has been the music in the Mariners which has changed hands since last year. All of the others - Sun, Foresters, Oddfellows, Hodgsons, Beehive,Tiger, Nellies, Moulders are putting as much or more than they did in 2002.

Assuming that the licensees come up with enough advertising, the festival programme (which includes the fringe) will be free - it cost £2 in 2001. I'm convinced that the free PVFF programme (designed by Les) last year got a lot of locals involved and I'm keen to repeat that for now and the future.
