WHAT a fantastic day! I think Residents 1st is excellent for the city to give something back to York people such as myself. It's the one thing this council has done right.

My only issues are, firstly, could it be scheduled in the summer months to entertain the York residents in sunnier climates? And I'm a big fan of Huge, but what about a change for next year to really give other York bands exposure?

I'm not saying that Huge should be dropped, but I think that there are other bands who would welcome the exposure and the chance to perform in front of the crowds that Residents 1st would give them.
