Right as you can see we're updating this site daily as from today the site is now wider, which will be better for all the stuff from the festival i've got to upload .the reason for making the site wider is that the site was originally only for the festival 2010 (which from the start was totally isolated to exist only by itself but Destiny prevailed)
And because it was such a success hence the upgrade .any ideas welcome!!!!
Cheers "The Hour"
