Actually, the late arrival of the programs didn't bother me one bit as I very rarely get to any concerts on Friday evenings, it's a time of meeting & greeting for me.

But I can imagine that it must have caused a great inconvenience for others and for the Festival itself. I was delighted to see the lovely obituary for Colin Kemp included in it and I had wondered if perhaps that had caused the program to be late which would have been totally acceptable in my view!

The shoddy printing & program errors were the major problems as far as I was concerned, though of course they couldn't spoil the festival for me.

My earlier post was made merely to point out that negative comments are equally valid as the rose-tinted positive comments and should not be dismissed so lightly.
