well, back again after a marsh festival too... so belated thanks to everyone who came along to the... Woodshed and the Wrotham Arms! Sorry to those who were on the fringe outside on Saturday, the rain filled the pub and we physically couldn't get anyone else in, as you know. There were many magical moments, and about 100 musicians who led a song or tune during the week- and one of the most magical for me was the Friday afternoon when 19 instruments were playing and you could hear each one clearly, everyone was listening to each other and the melody was carried in a way you can only achieve when there are many musicians in harmony. Gentle lilt, not speed. Stunning.
Yes, there was so much going on at the festival that you could easily have started afresh, plotted a different choice of events and still mixed your own performance with quality concerts- heard many people say that it was a true town festival. It's always been a feelgood festival and long may it continue so.
