*sigh....how many times does the same thing have to be pointed out to people before they get it fixed in their heads? This year is a ONE OFF because there was not the time or money to organise the festival on anything like the same basis as usual. Next year it will be a proper festival again instead of "folk week". You cannot expect it to be a totally smooth and polished organisation in the time that was available and with no money on which to do it. Personally, I think a tremendous job has been done in getting it organised to the extent that it has been.

I agree entirely with Lizzie...we do not need people who are determined to see only the negative and obviously have no desire or intention to enjoy the week and have fun. There will be enough of us who ARE going to enjoy it and are really looking forward to it.
