Pam Braakenburg, chairman of the Dart Music Festival, writes:

I would like to thank the people of Dartmouth who helped make this year's music festival such a success.

To those individuals and companies who gave so generously in sponsorship, to all the people who let us use their venues to put on music and to all those who put money in our tins – without you we simply could not stage the festival.

Every act was free to watch this year, for the first time, but of course we have to pay all our performers and technicians who help.

Finally, thank you to my committee who work tirelessly all year planning the event and to all our volunteers who helped over the weekend.

To see so many happy faces enjoying the music makes all the effort very worthwhile, so once again thank you all.
