Thread Name: Beverley Folk Festival
Subject: RE: Beverley Folk Festival
I went to both the Saturday and Sunday night main concerts last year and had a great time. Judging by the attendance on both nights then reasonable profits should have been made. The present location is ideal as 'it's' all in the same area of Beverley. People like everything to be within walking distance of pubs (fringe events), and amenities which is what they've got now. Traveling further afield for weekend events could seriously effect numbers with the possiblity of the festival being seriousy fragmented. Artists should be willing to reduce their fees substantialy in order to perform at such a highly regarded annual event.
