Is the problem of scale so great that you can't even put the festival dates on the website?

I knew it was sometime in August but couldn't find out any more. Since I could find out the dates and the programme for a week-long folk camp in Transylvania, that's where I went instead. (It might have been the Nuits de Nacre festival in Tulle, they have details up in advance too - as far I'm concerned, you're competing with every late summer festival in Europe whose website has a schedule in a language I've got a dictionary for).

I've never seen a programme. It's not too hard to get to, I know Dick and Susan like it, I imagine you have spots for local-ish performers like Jim Eldon and Alistair Anderson who I'd want to hear, but that's not quite enough for me to commit a whole week, and I couldn't arrange to go part of the week without an advance schedule.

There are lots of ways to put programme info on the web as soon as you have it - a permathread here, a Twitter page, a blog, a public iCal calendar, an RSS feed, whatever suits. It doesn't need to take any longer than finding a post-it note to add it to your office planner.

Maybe you just don't want to attract anyone who hasn't been before. Your choice, I won't argue if that's what you want.
