We had a great time too. Top moments: Lau, Spooky Men's Chorale in the Methodist church and the lunchtime workshop, Jim and Jackie's "soiree" in the Arts centre, Folk against Fascism, The Navvy's Wife, Eric Bogle singing "the Band played Waltzing Matilda", Kerfuffle, Mawkin Causley, Spiers and Boden, Demon Barbers (again), Oysterband at the LNE, Silent Disco. Low points: String Fury in the Ham (someone's parents know someone in charge, surely), some lack of clarity in the bus service between Bulverton and town (but the drivers were great).

I'd have preferred better weather but I enjoyed the seige mentality of camping in the rain and mud, and the campsite Stewards were great.

I hope Dyer:Cummings get some recognition - a group of youngsters that were really keen and talented - I saw them in the Ship and in the asbo tent.

Thanks Ruth for explaining some things on here. BTW, I thought the Bulverton floor was better this year and I didn't notice it being smaller.
