As my name is Martin DENT, do you think I would be aloud to play at the festival? Or have the organisers have heard me before?

As the box office number would appear to be Lancaster City Council's Arts & Events Service, shouldn't they get a mention somewhere?

Martin, your welcome to join the sessions!

Lancaster City Council run a box office service hence their number. They take a percentage and don't actually fund us hence no mention.

Dent is in the UK situated in South East Cumbria in The Yorkshire Dale National park.

It's a dilemma situation!

Mr Happy+fiends are torn between going here or Glasson http://www.glassonfestival.org.uk/ which although on a different w/end is very tempting.

Problem is, we've just had Chester FF on Bank Hol w/end last, coming w/end off to Bishop's Castle, following w/e Middlewich, so if we do Dent as well, we'll have been away for 5 w/ends on the trot.

Are there likely to be many sessions/sinarounds at Dent?

What's the fest been like in previous years?

Any advice?
