What a huge shame, we were really looking forward to this. I, too, will echo what Paul said about Richard and Jeanette - they organise great festivals and it is greatly to their credit that they have taken the brave step of cancelling before problems arose. We bought the first tickets and have no worries at all about getting a refund, although we would prefer to let it ride and have tickets for Osmotherley instead.

As far as the credibility of festivals in the Pickering area - I have no problem as Ryedale this year and last were brilliant and so were Roots North and Osmotherley last year. If they are on again next year, we'll be there.

Hey, I bet it's muddy at Cambridge and we got into serious problems with the caravan at the Hardraw Gathering last weekend.


BTW Paul, we owe you a barbecue - will you take a rain check?:)
