I had a brilliant time in Broadstairs this year.

There were fantastic acts everywhere, in the marquee, the pavilion and various other halls, plus some really good pub acts.

I enjoyed the singarounds in The Neptune and, yes, The Woodshed Sessions in The Wrotham Arms were very special.

What also impressed me, was the quantity and quality of the young performers appearing this year. 4Square, Skyhook and Wheeler Street to name but three. It's good to see that the future of folk is in safe hands.

Now after a very very full week of Broadstairs, and beer, I need a few days to recover,

See you there next year for another great Folk Week? Too bloody true
