Thread Name: Warwick festival 2008
Subject: RE: Warwick festival 2008
that wasn't me by the way (above)
Ray
MCDonald and Ken Johnson safely home now and me too
I had breakfast with Ken The Aussie, in the M&C food tent so i do hope he got his Jacket back (I didn't know!)
I was highly entertained by Chris Sherburn and Bella Hardy, I thought Bella reminiscent of Maddy Prior, a really expressive singer and fiddler, Chris love your comments about zips etc
Roy Bailey and Tony Benn went to standing ovations! hope you get your radiator fixed Tony!! ( must try to use that one when caught short)
The weather was as if to order, certainly a god send after the last two years
Well done to all involved and Dick Dixon for a great festival
Enjoyed the pub sings and music as well and the bus is always a great asset, very well filled too
Bellowhead, fine music and I feel that the use of the traditional songs utilising material from Tony Rose and Peter Bellamy in particular a great way to keep the living tradition alive and well
Jez Lowe as always with Kate Bramley and Andy May's Northumbrian pipes well received
