James,

I think you will find that Mr Seered is not actually on the team that is organising Folk Week 2005.

The only "official" and truly accurate info to date is what has been said in the Press Release(s). There is still a lot going on in the background and more will be announced as it becomes confirmed.

I have contact (elsewhere) with the organisers and I am, like everybody, else just keeping my ear to the ground.

You can take it that things will be happening but what goes on will have a different "feel" from what has gone on in recent years.

Don't get annoyed just be a little patient.
