thanks cath - it's good to see something emerging from the mist over the pennine hills - after a couple of months of hearsay, whittering and speculation. Just hope that people will support your efforts and make this festival a good one. There is no reason why festivals cant run with out all the usual predicatable trappings and plastic arm bands. You just need a willing bunch of folk (a few with talent) and some good space, in which to meet sing, play, dance and drink. Good ale helps and there is plenty in the town. Fact that the picturedrome is fielding some big names should make it all the better, and draw others in. I guess the big task now is to let everyone know it is now definitely on as this is one of the first of the season so the jungle drums wont be up to full speed.
