Just like to add my thanks for a great festival too. Having not done much with folk music for a year or so (too much classical guitar!) it was a great way to get back to it. It was nice to meet quite a few people from the South who I hadn't seen since I moved.
I particularly enjoyed the mid-afternoon guitarry sessions in Nellie Deans' on Friday and Saturday with Dave Bennet (Dave4Guild - excellent guitarist) and John Barden (The Barden of England - great voice and songwriter and a pleasure to meet).
The organisation was excellent. The bar was the most efficient I've seen it (I missed last year, so it may have been as good then) - I never had to wait for more than one person ahead of me all weekend. And I must add my own praise for the sound in the Scout Hut - it even made me like listening to myself! The food also seemed well sorted out on the few occasions I used it.
