I still think that the very best festival I ahve ever attedded is the Rollo Bay Fiddle Festival in Prince Edward Island Canada.. Its a mix of fiddle, vocal, dance, etc.. There is a room set up where you can go and sit with anyone from Natalie to a 10 year old who is just starting.. Share songs learn steps.. all very casual not at all exclusive..everyone is comfortable and welcome.. IT IS DRY however which seems to be a problem for some of you... Oh well I'll just spend the weekend with Natalie, Richand wood, J.P. Cormier all of the Chaissons... and on and on booze or not.. The view is great too..The site lookes out on to Cape Breton Island...
