It was very good - we had a fantastic time, with great performers, workshops, singarounds (organised and otherwise) and very interesting spot of dancing on Saturday night. Plus, we drank far too much beer.

Seems that Jools and I have a hex on Mawkin - every time we meet them David breaks strings. It happened at Cambridge and on Sunday he broke three - one at the workshop and two at the afternoon concert. Dave promptly banned us from going to any more of their gigs and only relented when I promised to leave him my guitar in my will (after watching him play it earlier, I almost gave it to him on the spot!).

Great weekend and a big thanks to Richard, Jeanette and all the other organisers. Looking forward to next year.

See you all at Roots North.
