		Meanwhile, the biggest Fringe venues announced last week that they were uniting as the Association of Independent Venue Producers to address the government's "marked lack of official support" for the festival.

		Critics meanwhile tended to characterise the Fringe as the poor, but inspiring relation of the Festival - Fringe companies in other words offered a sideshow entertainment as a contrast to the superior, professional and international standard of the opera, music and drama productions who had been invited to take part in the Festival.

		This is a festival in the true sense of the word, a ‘feast’ival’ so to speak, and there are dishes here to suit every palette.
		To make things clear, the Edinburgh Festival proper embraces all the arts: there are special exhibitions of painting and sculpture at Edinburgh’s two fine galleries, while opera, drama, dance, and poetry are dotted about the established concert halls and theatres of the city.
		That’s arguably the most important skill at the Fringe, finding what’s "good for all concerned." Without the immense amount of forward planning put in by the likes of Nichols and Frost, it would be easy for this event to descend into a maelstrom.
