An actual date + the absence of a 2013 message number indicates independent resources confirm that festival is "on"but the producer has yet to submit current information; "99" in the date field and a status other than "confirmed" means their status is anyone's guess. Festival producers are encouraged to post current information to the group by sending email to NEFolk@yahoogroups.com, the group moderators will update the database.
