I'm very sorry to hear about this being cancelled, although I'm unable to come myself (gig on Saturday, tickets for someone else's gig on the Sunday). I know from reading the various threads that a lot of you were really looking forward to it.

Have the reasons for this been given out anywhere? Maybe there are lessons we can learn from it. Are other festivals at risk from the same "over zealous application of powers embodied in the new licencing act" (from Andy's words)?

If any good is to come out of this sad news, it may be that other planned festivals can take steps to avoid the same happening to them.

Is this covered in another thread? I see there are several about it.
