Had a look at the 2004 pics of the festival. Didn't look like it was very well attended but that doesn't mean anything really, just that the promotion of it wasn't very good I guess.
They did have a fingerstyle guitar competition with some pretty nice prizes at the 2005 festival... maybe you should enter this years 6string, you just never know, you might get lucky
