What a great weekend!!

Otley festival always seems to suffer from some kind of disaster, over the last few years the event has been threatened by to name a few things :- Foot and mouth , pub closures,flooded camp sites, no licence in main venue, caterers pulling out at last minute,

however,I always seem to have a good weekend, this year being no exception, I'm a great lover of Folk Rock and in the Duncan McFarlane band we have the finest example of this genre in the country today, I also saw Something Nasty in the Woodshed and the Sunday afternoon marathon with Hall Brothers was a real treat.

I also attended lovely singarounds in the Red Lion , watched dancing in the streets and sampled the beer in a few pubs. also attending a few "small font" concerts which Otley excells in,people like Dave vermond and Gerry Mcneice although otley regulars should be national names.

And to finish Steve Tilson, Show of Hands, Ben and Joe ,what more do I need to say !!!

Cheers Steve and everyone , I'll be back next year
