Which is a drop-intro kind of a way to say that we have decided to postpone this week's Scrollfest. Ticketholders are of course welcome to refunds.

We've got a NEW DATE for Scrollfest - it's Thursday 23 April for a wonderful evening of live journalism - true stories told by excellent storytellers in front of a live audience. What's not to like?

[Louise Ridley @LouiseRidley]

Just a week to go until this, longform fans!

[Jon Kelly @mrjonkelly]
