Subject: RE: Review: National Folk Festival, Canberra, 2006
Hell I knew i shoodna dun it, ought not have logged onto NFF post mortems when I couldn't go for the 1st time in 15 years.

After only 5 mins I've noticed I'm growing a mould of envy and regret.

But of course I've been eliciting the impressions of my various returned brisbane friends, and what i wanna know, since it seems to be wall-to-wall singers, dancers and mulled wine-drinking Martin P-and-Cloudstreet groupies on these 2 Nash threads, IS ......

HOW WAS THE SESSION BAR ?

I've heard 2 non-players grumble abt it in the last 2 days, more talk of the need for another sesh venue for singers { I told em they were whimps, since wot's wrong with the fires in the 44s out the side doors for a sing). And I mean an alternative not only to the main bar but also to the restaurant upstairs, which a number of people say is a bit hard-core, not join in-ish [mein Gott !!!] enough.

And last year it was tune-players themselves complaining of too much leakage from neighbouring sessions into their own.

yeah, i know ... whingers. but don't ya love a good whinge. I know I do.
