The best singer of the night was the bloke who was called up to harmonise one song - was it Jem or Jed something? Even The Mistletoe Bough failed to rivet.

Unusually for me however I did like some of the stuff on the gaelic sessions programme - the rearrangement of that sean-nos version of the Four Maries with added accompaniment was riveting even without being able to understand a word.
