Festivalwatch: Guilfest

Guilfest is dead at 21. After an especially hard year, being lashed with rain and giving a stage to Olly Murs, the organisers have said 'enough'.

"I'd love to see Guilfest keep going, but I think it's got to be somebody who takes the helm or somebody who would need deeper pockets," organiser Tony Scott said. His company Scotty Events Ltd has been left with debts of around £300,000.

I'm not entirely sure that quote from the NME is totally correct, but you get the gist.
