Subject: RE: Shrewsbury Folk Festival
I had a brilliant time, though did miss some things I'd like to have seen due to stewarding duties (Genticorum for example - saw half an hour of their afternoon set, and missed both workshops).

Loved Bellowhead (28th time I've seen them), Fay Hield, Mawkin:Causley, the Young 'Uns, Jackie Oates, Belshazzar's Feast.
Gutted to miss Kerfuffle's last gig, but I was presenting an award to Mawkin:Causley on the main stage.
And the best bit was my trio (the Bailey Sisters) getting through to the final of the Open Mic Competition.

TwickFolk asked about John Boden going solo - I've seen him to a solo spot, as support for Fay Hield!
