I'd like to be optomistic, but the math shows that a pub sing would need nearly 700 people to show up to make up the difference, and a video would sell a couple dozen copies at best - this music is not of wide commercial interest and the wonderful CD's Mystic produced of past festivals did not make any signficant profit or they would have kept producing them.

It looks like Mystic is going to need either a co-sponsor or a major donor coming forward to make any sort of dent.   The pub sing is a great idea because it will attract interest and help spread the news.
