Notability

In its current (unsourced) state, the article does not assert notability. Agoogle searchhowever reveals that there may be enough to actually be enough independent sources to make thisverifiableso 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

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]
