The love shown and the passion of everyone involved that helped organise Cottingham SpringFest Music Festival or attended was truly amazing. Always a weekend to remember. A huge thank you goes to all organisers, volunteers, venues and the staff, to the acts who played, photographers and of course the audience. You make Cottingham Springfest Music Festival the magical, wonderful and special festival that it is and you deserve all the thanks and love thrown at you. See you all next year! Watch this space.

Now the dust has settled.....what does everyone think about the name of the festival for next year? I've got used to Spring Fest as a name now and feel it could confuse things further for next year, if we changed it again.

What a fantastic weekend! Spring Fest 2023 was a great success and showed that whatever the name is, people will still come out to watch live music at a reputable event.

Big thanks goes to all the stage organisers, you did a fantastic job in such a short space of time and like years gone by, never let us down. You are one in a million.

I want to say a special thank you to Karen Smiles-McCune what a star you are, for all the lanyards supplied to the stages and selling so so many of the programmes.

Thank you to all the musicians that performed. You are what makes this festival so special.

Thanks to the venues and staff for being so amazing, for all your hard work over the weekend.

Finally, my thanks goes to those who attended and continue to support live music. We are all eternally grateful for your continued attendance even though this festival wasn't happening a few months. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Apologies if I forget anyone or anything. I'm off to relax.
