Managed to get there for Saturday from about 5.30. Had a grand little session playing Old Time with Jock & Vera from the New Rope String Band outside the Hobgoblin tent.
In the pavilion the acoustics were terrible, but New Rope did a superb spot, beautifully rehearsed, precise and extremely funny - I've never seen them (our their old line-up) perform, and I'm dead impressed, even though J and V are old mates.
I thought the Bushberry Mountain Daredevils were a complete waste of time and space, but folk seemed to like them, so what do I know? After three unbearable tunes I fled and listened to a lovely session outside, with an excellent fiddler and a good German accordion player.
