How do you watch the vodcasts? There is no obvious link on the website. Frustrating…
hi Vivienne, you can watch the live streams through the ‘watch’ link in the top toolbar. The vodcasts will be available on this page later on in the week after we’ve had a chance to edit the footage.
STill not available on May 27 – so it seems the festival made bit of a promise that wasn’t kept here. I didn’t bother going cos I thought I could watch the vodcast….feel a bit messed around and can’t be bothered checking if it’s there anymore…
