Its grown to be too large

It needs to downsize

The 'name' will ensure support from the music community, I wouldnt use the term 'folk' anymore since it diversified to become the cumbersome creature that it has emergerd.

Cut back to what it was once about.

Fri - Sun 3days,

realistic costs, and fees.

If it falls over, so be it.

Maybe Steve has seen it grow so large that it is a drain on his motivation.

time for another individual or small group to take the initiative, maybe?

Just food for thought, but when it started it was one of a few, now Fests are ten a penny.

Its not dead, just looking for someone to lead it into economical reality.
