You didn't mention the dates for the event in you post but it's 18th and 19th September.

Am I right in thinking that the marque is funded by the takings at the bar? And any donations of course.

Hi Malky

Dates are Friday Evening 19th till Sunday Afternoon 21st September 2008, with the fair chance of some extra gigs on the Sunday night in the pubs.

The bar in the Marquee does help fund the festival as does the collection. There is also a small admission fee at the door of the Marquee on Saturday Night for the Main gig of the festival. I don't know how much but certainly a tenner or less - great value I'd say.

Also there are lots of free gigs going on elsewhere at the same time for the really fiscally challenged. and then there's the craic!
