Ripov, you will be pleased to hear that the new website was not at all expensive as these things go. The design was created for us by Jude Abbot of Chumbawamba (a collective not really known for their capitalist greed) - when she's not making music, she's a web designer. The artwork was created by Bryan Ledgard, as part of his wider brief as designer for the festival. So very cost-efficient.

We only sell advance tickets for some events, so these are the ones currently advertised on the website. When the full programme is on sale next month it will, as always, be downloadable from the website, and all information about workshops and fringe venues (and many other events) will be there.
