Slightly belated contribution, but I would like to add to all the compliments above.


Bloody good festival. It was my first visit to Deal and I thought that it was really good.

The Bohemian was my first port of call on both Sat and Sunday. Really sorry to miss the beginning but Saturdays session went on well into the afternoon with no sign of flagging.

Looked in at the Ship and later on, up at the Saracens Head, sat in on the later stages of the afternoon session. Enjoyed it all. Good performers, nice people, lovely town.

Likewise on Sunday. The sun shone on the righteous and everyone must have been sunburned! Another great session.

In between times dropped in to the Town Hall, Marion Button was great as she always is.

What a great festival this is!

Only slight minor gripe - some of the venues are a bit on the cramped side. But I loved it and I'll be back next year.
