thanks for your support Dick- we are far apart on some subjects but not this one.
I intended no criticism of the musicians, just the pointlessness of it all. I do remember that the originators of those early TMSA festivals modelled it on the fleadh they'd been to in 1965?. Except for the competitions, which are still part of the fleadh- they didn't want that.

They stuck to the guns for two years, but sadly there was a demand for competitions, so they relented & 1968 was the first year of them.
I've been a judge several times, but I still detest the whole idea
