Thanks, Tam. How I love the notorious Mudcat "Guests". :)

As was discussed on a previous thread, the Board of SFWP Ltd is fully aware of my work with Albion Folk. The agency side of Albion Folk belongs to Nick Hallam. I do not derive any financial gain or benefit from the agency.

For Sidmouth I book artists that I think our audiences will like. That's the only criteria. I have worked with several of the Albion artists in the past, and it seems a bit daft to think I could no longer book them because my colleague is now their agent.

There are still many festival bookings to be made. There will be literally hundreds of artists in the final lineup. The number of Albion artists will be a tiny minority - but they are all there because I think they are right for the festival, and for no other reason.
