Notability[edit]

In its current (unsourced) state, the article does not assert notability. A google search however reveals that there may be enough to actually be enough independent sources to make this verifiable so I'm giving it the benefit of the doubt. ~Enviroboy^Talk_Contribs - 21:55, 8 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I re did the website for them and was provided with much of the content, which I have transposed here. Given it was written by the festival organisers I'm prone to think that it's as accurate as it'll get.

Style[edit]

This doesn't read like an encyclopaedia, it reads like a blog. It needs to be revised a little methinks. --93.96.175.64 (talk) 22:47, 6 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
