Were people aware of it? What did we get wrong?

Or was it simply a combination of all these things and it just didn't appeal in general?
I wasn't in Accy last weekend, so I can only take a long-arm view. I don't know what acts there were, but I would suggest the timing and the venue were possibly misconceived. Good folk music goes down better when accompanied by good ale, so was there a bar selling this on saturday afternoon? And the timing seems peculiar. Most people have other things to at this time. An evening start would have been far better with less acts which would have resulted in a lower cover charge with more people coming in.

Maybe next time you could get a joint venture up with CAMERA at their ale festival.

Oh, and the only publicity I saw for this was that posted on here by you....nowt in the Telegraph or Observer (or at least their online editions)
