Enough with the wintery weather. We’re ready to liberate ourselves from our snow boots, emerge from under our blankets and look forward to some summer fun.

Audiences at the Centre’s first Blysh festival last year agreed we delivered on our promise to put some colour back in their cheeks. And we want Blysh to be a permanent fixture on the festival circuit - so it’s 2010 and Blysh is back.
