There was an article a few weeks ago in the York Evening Press on the lack of applications - and the effect that this could have later in the year. Most of the articles etc that have appeared have been very much centred round the binge-drinking/24 hour issues rather than the music side of things.

As an aside, I'm sure Samuel Smiths will have put in their applications with the 'Allow bugger-all that people enjoy' box ticked.
