Well there are 2 ways to do this, boycott the festival and find other places to go - or come 'in spite of' and enjoy MFAB as you know and love it.

Julie and I together last night agree we want you all to be at MFAB .. I have offered to help Julie because I care about my 'friends' in the folk world and I care about MFAB!

Offially the invitation is there from Julie! There will be a fringe but we may have to help it to happen.

Seriously though there are fewer pubs with open doors and so that can't be finalised until nearer the day.

We'll keep you posted.
