Hi Jess,

The only major problem we had was a cock-up by two newspapers publicising the event locally - one left off the telephone number for tickets, and the second (the main Holmfirth one) failed to carry the article until the day before (even though they had had written it up and sent it to the subs for the previous week). Because of this, we downsized it and held it in the upstairs civic. Having said that, we broke even and it was a very enjoyable evening for both audience and bands.

We ran the concert first and put the ceilidh on from 9pm. Howdenjones went down really well and the audience participation was excellent and fairly unexpected. Everyone danced to the Red Parrot Ceilidh.

Cheers
Sarah
