Pickering and Saltburn may be 45 miles from each other (is it only in the North that we think of that as being "next door") but the bills were very different as was I suspect the target audience. If we're saying that there are only enough folkies to support one festival a week in the north-east of England then we've got big trouble.

PS Feel sorry for the traders who have lost a weekend's trading and whilst they may get their pitch fee back don't get a cancellation fee or recompense for loss of earnings.
