The Team
What they say...

You have now organised four festivals and each one has grown in scope, cost and complexity. Each time, you have risen to the challenge, and organised and managed the event with great professionalism and ingenuity. Once again, at the festival itself, I was able to watch with a mixture of admiration and pleasure, as you went about your business with calm and energy, despite the gruellingly long days, the enormous numbers of people, and the plethora and range of issues raised by people. In many ways, the mark of the quality of your team, is best depicted by the fact that people like me don’t get to know about the issues you have calmly and quietly dealt with until after they are resolved.
