Funding for arts and music festivals really does trickle down, to artists and other creative workers (including yours truly). Here's a taste of the physical artwork that catalyses the vibe at Twisted Frequency.

Twisted , like a lot of the larger music festivals, is really struggling to cover its costs with tickets sales way down on last year. Splore has declared this summer their last outing. WOMAD is taking a year off. If you have any ideas about funders or sponsors who might be able and willing to help keep some of these long running events alive, please get in touch.

@strypey The answer is smaller festivals

Once over 500 people attending it becomes no fun to organize and costs balloon

Just in case anyone is confused, I didn't sculpt that gorgeous wooden hand, I just photographed it. While helping with packdown after Twisted.
