Where to begin? My head is still full of all the wonderfuls singing and camaradarie of the weekend.

One of the advantages, if it can truly be called such, of my not being able to sing, was the more time available to others. Special thanks to Chris Maden for taking up the slack for me at the Warner House, and to Linn for converting our usual duet at the Athenaeum to an exceptionally fine solo performance.

One of the many great highlights of the weekend was Andy Kenna, Liverpool singer, concertinast, tradition bearer and consummate performer. Since he and his wife were coming over for a visit, he looked around to see what might be going on and stumbled upon our website. After a couple of emails and CD exchange, we most fortuitously signed him up.

And now, for those who didn't get to see him, thanks to Dave Hallowell, here's   Andy Kenna at The Rusty Hammer.

We were fortunate to have a lot of this year's festival videotaped. Stand by for more.
