I'm interested to know more details about the row over the festival grant before I start to rant about the number of professional people who donate their time for free in order that Hebden Bridge can have this extraorinary event which is gaining in reputation and raising the town's profile with every passing year! Every year a broader cross-section of the community becomes involved - as audience/participants and/or as organisers and helpers. I suspect I'll not be the only one banging on about it once we know exactly what happened - but maybe I have misunderstood the converage!
