Asolutely Malcolm! I think the beds are already booked. Many highlights. Robbie's talk was superb, I had only ever heard recordings so it was very special to see him in action. No wonder all those who knew him loved him so much! Was chuffed to get a song on Saturday afternoon (Friday night was time to listen) and to hear so many other singers too. The big concert was great there was so much talent. I thought I was going to have an asthma attack in the late singaround on hearing Iris Robinson for the first time.....should have a health warning! Think I managed to get through the Trees they do grow high without greeting at the end and loved Ellen's reply of Lady Mary Ann

The Sunday walk was very special and what most impressed me is that this is not just some dry bit of history, its still real (as it should be) and sung about with such passion. Amazing

Didnt want the Brazen head or the last singaround in the Teachers Club to end

Massive thanks to you all for your hard work
