We're hoping that the Official Fringe will equal the success of the People's Voice. Maggie and I will be welcoming contributions at the 'Iced Gems at Teatime' sessions on Saturday and Sunday at Hodgsons. A change to do something a bit different.

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.

Too true Roger! If the locals get a programme and go to a pub and hear some music and buy some beer and please the landlord who can afford to put some money in to provide a free programme...

And hopefully there will more people about to watch dance displays and such and put money in tins. All this means support from businesses and people who live in the area who elect the people who contribute money and facilities to the festival.

From: Sir Roger de Beverley
Date: 29 May 03 - 08:59 AM

Everything that Les says about the free programmes is true and I have fought hard to get them this year. However, I have just been given some bad news:

Chris Wade, the festival director, has informed me that, despite the best efforts of the publicity man Ray Grange, only one pub (the Sun) is prepared to take advertising space in the festival programme. That effectively scuppers any plans for a free programme although Chris says that they will be cheaper than in previous years - possibly £1.

I have written an intro to the fringe to go in the programme and have mentioned all of the venues involved. I have also produced a one page table of fringe events which I will distribute to the pubs so that they can copy them and hand out to customers if they wish. This is not what we had hoped for but we can't expect the festival organisers to produce thousands of extra copies for nowt and, unlike last year, we don't have any money for printing.

She was asking for £50 per ad, Rog. Personally, I did't think that extortionate, but the smaller pubs don't wanna pay that much.

Incidentally, if anyone spots a really drunk bloke who looks exactly like me wandering about the Festival clutching a guitar and singing lewdly at anyone who'll listen, it's not me. I'm not going this year, but my twin brother is apparently going to attend. Just wanted to clear that up in advance.

The Ducks will be there and many thanks to those who have made it possible to do the fringe without weekend tickets. With children as young as ours it can be annoying when we can't make full use of a season ticket but can't stay on a festival site without. By all means rattle a tin in our direction the kids love putting money in!

Don't forget that camping spaces are limited and that you need to book your spot through the festival office. I'm told by the organisers that they haven't had many fringe bookings for camping yet.

I was hoping to get a local folk club to run the festival fringe folk club on Saturday afternoon (as we did last year) but haven't had any luck yet. So, we will probably try and run it in shifts.

I would appreciate it if any volunteers who would like to take an hour or so at the helm could get in touch.

We'd better explain the 'Iced Gems at teatime' reference to those who haven't come across it before. Often at festivals we find that some people want to use the time between 6pm and 8pm(ish) to eat, but we are made of sterner (or dafter!) stuff. We like to use this time to have a nice little choice session, and, if possible, to give people an opportunity to sing or play (or recite or dance) something a bit different - something they may not want to attempt in a singaround, or something they might not get the chance to do in musicians session. Not to say that it has to be different, that's entirely up to you.
