Lose the 'font'. Or, at least, choose a better one.
Define a logic for there being black AND white letters in Scarborough - or, just keep them one colour.
The boat thing:
It doesn't leap out, y'know? I can see it after I've furrowed my brow, but that'd be too late if it was a poster. I also don't quite understand why you've only gone for massive Dub-worthy bassdrums instead of 'Cardigans and Beards'. I'm sure if you added in some further detail or flourish it'd be more congruous (maybe make the speakers wear sweaters? ;) Or how about some van Gogh Starry Night stars or othersuch hand drawn detailing (folk/hippy flourishes and swirls - christ, even ..*shudder*.. music notes?)?I'd also like to see some ripply crosshatching on the keel of the boat - it'd be dark under there, behind the moonlight in the cold North Sea water, wouldn't it?
All that said - I do like where it's going, the handwritten text, the keel and moon and banners are all lovely - it's just not quite finished yet.
Good Luck!
