I had fun in the Tartar Frigate - a session was just waiting to happen, so I just started one up. Many thanks to Morris, Pete Hicks and Richard Bridge who made it for me - you guys are great. I went to the session at the Lord Nelson and joined in a couple, but I wanted to take in a bit if the atmosphere after having had such a great week at Sidmouth and I should really support my local festival. Must say it wasn't too bad at all although there still seems to be a real shortage of pubs that cater for all day sessions. If anybody can point me at one I'd love to join in.
We went to the Cloudstreet concert in the evening which was fantastic. First were Tom Napper and Tom Bliss, who were excellent, and then Cloustreet came on and sang what must now be their anthem - 'The Briar and the Rose'. Then came a surprise. Up came Vicki Swan & Jonny Dyer to join them for a few wonderful numbers, and finally the two Toms joined too! Fabulous. A great nights entertainment.
