Is OK. Hope you enjoyed the fest. Saw 'Ermon from the train and blew the whistle at him, plus a couple of other former(?)Tats. Had a good weekend myself, 12 hours at the railway on Sunday.

Thinking about it, I feel that the festival could really do with a few evening pub fringe sessions/singarounds outside the ticketed areas of the 'Gardens. Suitable pubs certainly exist and I don't think it would really hurt the festival in terms of revenue. Anyone else have any feelings on that? I know that if current plans to demolish the Winter Gardens in the name of flats comes about the festival will have to have a major re-structure anyway, possibly to one using various differnt event venues, so this may happen anyway.
