That's great that you're on the committee putting this festival together, and that the festival fosters young talent.<br /><br />BTW, are you the Alan Burnett who just published an article in the Herald Scotland about <a href="http://www.heraldscotland.com/arts-ents/more-arts-entertainment-news/back-on-the-witch-hunt-1.822169#" rel="nofollow">Janet Horne, the last witch burned in Scotland</a>?
