I greatly enjoyed it even though I didn't know anyone there, and had no idea what to expect. I've been dipping into this years vids. and am delighted that this seems to go from strength to strength. I too would like more of an artistic/user content. I think that what would be absolutely fabulous would be a developer/artist team up, maybe as some form of competition. I think both would gain a lot of insight, and the audience would get great performances. -- Will J Godfrey http://www.musically.me.uk Say you have a poem and I have a tune.
