Just returned from Portpatrick and again it was great. Failte were great both Friday and Saturday but poarticularly on Saturday. They may bew coming over to Girvan next year so look out for them if they do. The festival was a bit quiter this year (as it was technically unofficial) but it was by no means a failure.

Apparently the issue is that the Stranraer Folk Club used to help organise and publicise but it was decided about two years ago that it would be handled locally. It would appear that local committee interest has waned which is unfortunate.

Let's hope next year they can get back on track with a full programme and some "headline" acts to draw even more audience and musicians to the area.

To those who did support this year, thank you. We will be back next year!!!
