Well, was only there Sunday/Monday, but interestingly, the Sun eve concert in the Bedford that I was involved in, was full from beginning to end. (and reports suggest that this was true of most if not all of the events)
In my experience in the past, season ticket holders would drift in and out, and the support acts could find themselves performing to 2 blokes and a dog sometimes! Buying individual tickets seems to focus the mind somewhat, apparently, and keeps bums on seats!
Did have a brief chat with Eddie Upton on the Monday, and all the organisers are very aware of the need to sort out the season ticket situation for next year. There doesn't seem to be an easy answer, but, all suggestions would be welcome I'm sure.
Hats off to all who have managed to raise this particular Phoenix though, and it was really good to see the craft/music bit, put back into the middle of town.

Considering the lack of time available, to revive the festival, It's amazing that it happened at all.

Even the weather hasn't been that bad!!

Heres to next year
