I did that feedback form and basically said the bands were not too good. I suggested better bands but he reckons the budget is just 40k (for music). The James Brown thing for 3 tracks was i think he said 15k.
The reason next year may not be as good is that they don't have a sponsor but i guess there is time to find one.
I also suggested combining the balloon festival with it?
I know 4 bands which i might get to play there if the guy will employ them.
