Van Morrison is again not available. Our dollar is too weak to lure top American talent. Luckily, fair weather follows around Wickham's festivals like money follows around Premier Ralph Klein. Both gents however have a saving and a spending problem. Revenue from beer, tickets, sponsorships and raffles should get fans more.
Trim excess is the message.
I think not. Save money by cutting staff. Take some musical chances. If folks are already site-satisfied, challenge them with new voices. Otherwise our folk fest will continue to lag behind our jazz, blues and fringe festivals.
