I'm looking forward to it. I have a ticket for Shirley Collins' singing workshop on the Sunday, and intend to cram in as much stuff that day I can fit in. If I'm not too busy, I'm thinking of popping down on the Thursday too (though mainly for checking out handmade guitars).

I've been thinking a lot about how festivals work recently. I started idly wondering (inspired by the No Masters record label) how feasible it might be to run a festival entirely as a co-operative: with all the acts performing and all the people organising on a level footing, all with stakes in the festival, all involved.
