Yes you are right Steve: previous years have been better on the publicity so perhaps my friendly fire was overstated. I think the festival is great and have supported it since the first one. But I would like everyone with any interest in this music to be aware of what is on offer for practically nothing this weekend. To that end here are web links to all the artists who are listed as appearing over the weekend.

But I couldn't find an official one for John Connolly – perhaps someone could post it for us if he has got one.
