I've just read the newsletter, and I can't really understand the " Only YOU will discover the headline acts for MFAB2009 ahead of the normal information release in February/March" bit.

If you know the headline acts for next year, then the best way to encourage people to buy the EarlyBird tickets is to get that information into the public domain as soon as possible.  I can understand waiting until the Rainbow Chasers gig to announce this as you'll have the EarliestBird ticket offer for concert goers, but to then hold onto the information until a general release in Feb/Mar is just daft.

If you know who is playing then you should really tell us as soon as you (contractually) can!!!

Here are a few to be going on with: -

Boo Hewerdine
Ruth Notman
3 Daft Monkeys
Box Fox (solo or with friends)
The Ukelele Orchestra of Great Britain
Old Blind Dogs
Tiny Tin Lady
ColvinQuarmby
Devon Sproule

That'll do for now - Hopefully, someone else will add a few more suggestions!

Cheers

Thanks for confirming the dates - I've now pencilled in the MFAB Festival for next year!

Any chance of getting the wonderful Colvin Quarmby on the bill?

I've been at the Big Session for the last two years, but I feel that it's time to renew my acquaintance with the MFAB Festival in 2009.

To this end can you please post the dates for 2009, because I can't work out whether the festival will start on the 12th or 19th June next year.

Some great suggestions in there!

But, when is the festival next year?
