As a follow on to my previous(ly) deleted post...

I put forward a proposal to a small school to do a small folk festival.

The guy who used to organise the local one had moved away.

The killer was the Public Insurance - the school P&C refused to add it on to its existing policy, which they needed to d the 'sausage sizzles', and wanted somebody else to pay.

Anybody else who wanted to put the money up, wanted to keep the profits...

So no festival... the audience would have turned up (and the sort of publicity needed locally to get them in was well known), as previous years demonstrated.
