Definitely. And we have you to thank for it (with some nudging by oldrottenhead):

In my mind, NeilFest was the first official Songcrafters festival ever. There was the BluesFest before that, but it was sort of an impromptu thing by just a few members which only lasted a few days. By the time I noticed it, it was pretty much finished. NeilFest had more planning, more members involved, and lasted an entire month.

As I recall, NeilFest was maintained mostly by you, Geir. I think I got involved when you went on holidays for a couple of weeks. We didn't have a proper jukebox originally. Instead, you made an index post with links to each song topic. I added a download button to the right of each song in the index.

A few months later (August), I made a proper jukebox for our woodstock 40th anniversary festival. I then went back and did the same thing for NeilFest and BluesFest, with graphics created by The Reverend 48. The rest is history. Festivals became a regular event at Songcrafters. But it might never have happened if not for your idea and your work on NeilFest.

So.....
            Thanks, Geir!

yeah thanks, I love the festivals and have really enjoyed starting to add my own posts to them. Always look forward to the vote and seeing what options come up for the next 2 months! The U2 fest seems to be very popular so far!!
