Brother Crow Winter Warmer Weekend N.Yorkshire UK FEB (181* d) RE: Winter Warmer Weekend N.Yorkshire UK FEB 18 Feb 08


Phew, it was a great weekend wasn't it...we'd like to thank all the people who helped us get things going from a sound/stage management point of view. Fifteen minutes is a very short turnaround, and as this was the first festival we'd done sound for, we appreciated the help and input.

Paul and Wendy of course, for their organisation - all of the acts arrived at the venue in good time to prepare for their slots, a logistical nightmare if ever there was one. They listened to our stage setup suggestions when we got there, and all that helped make our lives that little bit easier...

The MCs throughout the weekend, also contributed in no small way, Dave Kidman, Tony Levy, Glyn Cavell, Hamish Currie and even Paul Arrowsmith for his Sunday MC duties!!! They all helped us in getting people on stage for soundchecking, helping us to "persuade" people to get OFF the stage quickly, and generally being there to do things when we asked...

The artists made it easy for us as well...because of our relative inexperience, there were a few acts that we'd had nightmares about in advance (Zoox and the Duncan McFarlane Electric Band spring to mind), but everyone made it really easy for us, and were so nice. Cheers guys.

There were lots of other people, too numerous to mention, who did little things throughout the weekend...every kind word gave us confidence, and helped keep us going...

Ruth would like to thank all of the people who were so appreciative of her merchandising duties. It was a first for her as well, and the patience and understanding of all was much appreciated.

Here's to the next one.

Graeme,
Brother Crow.
