This is just a gentle reminder to those of of readers who are intending to visit Fez for the festival - make sure you have booked your accommodation! Several riad owners report that they are already full. The festival programme looks great and the festival should be a major success, once again.
This year sees the twentieth edition of the Fes Festival of World Sacred Music. To celebrate, The View from Fez takes a look back at some of the images from previous festivals

Fab photos Sandy -- really excellent. But -- why not apply Susannah's (and your) journalistic talents to do a text retrospective of the festival from its start? With quotes from Faouzi etc: It is a fascinating story. I am working on something similar for the festival web site and Simon B is doing the same for Songlines. Your close up perspective would be a useful addition.
Hopefully this year will better than last year. We don't want to see fake tickets sold at the last minute of concerts. We need more MOROCCAN journalists to cover this events. We tired of the same people saying the same things invited every year for tourism.
As a Journalist from Fes, My application was rejected many times by the festival organizers simply because I wrote in one of my articles that Faouzi Skali is a big impostor and that he got more than 70000 DHS a month from the fondation and others institutions and also money from the groups managers. This is the reality of this festival. View from fez, plz publish if you're neutral. Many thanks!
