Hi Cap'n - thanks for asking & thanks to Bainbo for breaking the bad news. Unfortunately though the festival was a great success in many ways, and we got some great feedback from audiences and artists, the folk day did not achieve the audience numbers that we expected (given the line up) and required to break even (or even come close!). The Chair of our Committee decided that he did not wish to continue with the folk day because of this, though some of us would have liked to explore possibilities of putting on something on in the village on a smaller scale but this would have been difficult to achieve due to the cost of hiring the Victoria Hall venue. I will be discussing the possibility of a small summer day festival with the management at the home of my Raggalds Acoustic music nights near Queensbury and will let everyone know if this is going to happen. Watch this space! Cheers
