Exactly thats why location is very important, it doesn't have to be a big city but does have to have easy enough transport links to cater easily for an international market. An event aimed at only the UK market is gonna REALLY struggle...
If this happens at Pwhelli, i can see it dying on it's arse in fact i don't think a seaside location is a smart idea full stop. The HRH team have loads going on so aren't new to organising something like this, but hopefully they are wise enough to consider factors that are important to attracting fans for a AOR genre specific event....also i hope they go for a summer or late spring date.
the bands is only half the battle....
