The reason the festival ran so smoothly is due to the army of volunteers. Amongst their number is a selfie-loving, happi bear called Brian, whose role appears to be performers welfare. May his photos here represent the spirit of the ace team of volunteers. 📷 Jo Higgins

The volunteers are veterans of @Lthanwordsfest and are led by the praise-averse yet eminently praise-worthy Em Carroll. They calmly and efficiently run the show. Big thanks to all of them.

A salute to the festival engine room. Fall royalty, Fall publishers and the paramount festival organiser. There was a first class support network too. A fine team effort.
