I thoroughly enjoyed the festival this year, as I do every year. It was so good to get a concert spot this year too, along with MC duties at the White Lion Saddlery. With myself from England, Viki Swan (Sweden) & Johnny Dyer, Nibs van der Spuy (South Africa), Trefor & Viki Williams (Wales) and Jeff Warner (USA) it was quite an international concert. On a personal note, it was so good to see Viki Williams out and about.
The Saturday night session out in the dining room in 'The Vines' was good, and the new landlord is a fan of the music too (he's from Glasgow I believe), and finally the lunchtime session in 'The Woolpack' althogh restricted was fun, with Graeme Knights and Jim Mageean in fine voice, as was Richard Bridge. Thanks all for coming to the sessions, and a great big thank you to Alan Castle and the team for a fine festival.
