Subject: RE: Saddleworth Folk Festival 2008
Had a fantistic time: thank you to everybody involved. Linda (hope you're getting better) you probably did quite well staying away: Hazel had to abandon the tent and seek refuge in a camper van.

Loads of highlights: but the young 'uns were terrific: 4Square and Kerfuffle were both awesome. (And I'm going to see Kerfuffle again tonight: way hey!) Yes - I agree that the whole vibe throughout the town was great. Yes, the Waggon was pretty wild and overly "fringe" at times, but there seemed no shortage of venues for playing and singing. Anyway, for me that's all part of the experience of a town-based festival: all the venues and variety. If you're not getting what you want at wherever you are, go find it somewhere else: cos it's there somewhere!

No, really, I loved every minute. Thanks again for inviting me, Ali, and SEE YOU NEXT YEAR!!!!
