support through media sponsorship .
It's endurance is a tribute to the energy and labour of it's workers. it's appropriate to acknowledge the voluntary organising committee, and also the many volunteer workers who take charge of doors, organise artist accommodation, look after publicity, liaise with artists, and numerous other things involved in making such an event possible year on year.Particular recognition for Jim Walsh, Chairman and someone who has been a vital cog in Festival organisation since that very first year, long-serving Festival Director William Hammy Hammond, and also Timmy the Brit McCarthy, the inspirational figure behind the Festival's inception, as well as it's original Director/Secretary.
