There are briliant line ups at many festivals throught the year that have to mannage without the bucket loads of funding that pours into the Concert Hall coffers, and these festivals still manage to do it better, friendlier and cheaper. Why is everyone/anyone still ammazed when an event that is backed/funded/subsidised to the hilt and ran by wellpayed trained professional event organisers appears to be a success. Why after eleven/twelve years a cold souless atmosphere still pervades many of the concerts and why are events so expensive? Or is £12 for a two hour concert good value? Having said all that I'll be there as usual and June Tabour, Martin Simpson and Andy Cutting will be worth seeing also Coope,Boyes and Simpson and Gerry Douglas should be unmissable.
