If the Sidmouth admins can't figure out how to become a member of Mudcat it doesn't speak very well for their technical competence.
I would also expect anybody doing a job like that to have known about Mudcat and joined it ten years ago - it's always been the world's most active forum for the kind of music Sidmouth promotes.

I can assure you, Jack, that the Sidmouth organisers know all about Mudcat, use it and monitor comments about the festival.

It is not clear that "All Folked Up" is anything to do with the festival. In any case, the following messages indicated that the problem was at Mudcat's end.
