Les, I did not know what the technical problem was either. All I know is that non of us were able to play as planned because of some problem with the power and concerns re safety. I am glad the others were able to stay. I stayed most of the day, myself, as you know, and kept coming to check if there was any news from you as to what was happening. As you know, Abi and the others in WWW stayed for well over 2 hours after we were all supposed to play and I felt they were perfectly reasonable to leave after waiting all that time. I don't think you think they were unreasonable or unprofessional either but your post suggested that you perhaps thought they were. I am sure that is just the way it was worded and is perhaps me misinterpreting how you meant it. It was great to meet the Cara nutcases again and Rupert and Henry crowd.
Perhaps we should continue any other conversation in PMs if you feel a need to, because I feel that the event was a great idea and the problems for the first half of Saturday were obviously overcome for the rest of the event. Congratulations to you for organising the music as it is no easy task. I was pleased to be asked but disappointed not to play.
