I had an invite from the lovely lady's Sarah and Heather form the Oxford Fringe. So we drove up and arrived on time to the bar where it was held, there was a good turn out and we were welcomed by Heather, who gave us some drinks vouchers (happy days), there was a bit of mingling and then with out delay we went straight into the showcase. There was a mix of comedy, music and poetry (which was my favourite) AF Harrold, funny looking funny poet, really excellent and very comfortable on stage.
I had a chance to sit down with Sarah and Heather after the show and we had a good chin wag about how it was going. Everyone works hard in festivals but these two ladies are running a 3 week long festival with over 200 events, programming and managing the venues themselves, managing the launch, staff, box office, website, design etc etc (basically everything and more than normal) but the difference is they both have full time jobs as well! Amazing I have a lot of respect for them they must be exhausted, they are exhausted and the festival hasn't even started yet. I asked if they would have a slight rest-bite before the festival starts, they said no as now they have to get on with all the out door events... yikes!!!
