Why Morti - thankyou for those kind words! Mind you, at the time, I felt like missing my spot on the horn...

I think I prefer the concept of the relaxed informal session, with spots of one song/tune/poem/solo jig. As for the extended beer break... Last year's gather seemed to work well, where Catters could sit and natter in one bar, while the singaround/tunearound/general performance carried on in another was good for me!
