Website

“The festival fell victim not to poor ticket sales or lack of support and dedication, but to the credit crunch that has the UK in the grip of an economic stranglehold.

“On forming the company there were two streams of investment scheduled in order to ensure the event was viable in year one. This morning we have been informed that due to circumstances in the global financial market place and its knock on effect, the event has become unsustainable.

Apologies

“We send out most sincere apologies to all of you that have bought tickets. We threw everything we had at the event to try and make it go ahead and we¹re really disappointed we couldn't see it through.”
