The Bristol Community Festival is dead. Long live The Bristol Festival!

I know, a bit long-winded...but you get the idea.

Following the sad but inevitable demise of Ashton Court Festival (actually named the Bristol Community Festival), a group of very enthusiastic (some say naive) volunteers are setting up a brand spanking new festival for summer 2008.

So what's so different about The Bristol Festival? An opportunity for public involvement. It seems that anything is up for consideration - where it should be, who should play, who should sponsor (if anyone), and even what it should be called. In this climate of cultural apathy, they;re certainly very brave! So give them a hand and tell them what you want from the festival here - http://www.thebristolfestival.org/forum

Good luck to them!
