Saturday singaround
Paul Young (Blackbeards teaparty) Oliver & Stuart also feature with Paul et al in a shanty group whose name escapes me, apologies boys, the old farts pointing fingers and joining in the chorus's were 2 Black sheep and a stallion aka Ron Akehurst, Martin Bartlett and yours truly Peter Outhart and of course many voices that came and led us in some great songs, I think the best singing session at this festival in the seven years I have been involved. My heart kicked out of rhythm early hours of sunday morning which was a bummer, curtailed my attendance to the performance of Blackbeards teaparty and our own slot in the Marquee which I enjoyed. sorry for not being my usual chirpy self but hey I was there! "Two" were on after us, self penned stuff, really good, one real wrist opener which was well constructed but I was not enamoured with but their
harmonies and arrangements were superb I think they will do well. We had Rob Van Sante performing with us, rare appearance cos he is always touring but it was great and Rob is up for doing more, Wowsa!
Big thanks to the sound engineers but a huge thanks to Roland who's massive input to the organisation of the event is why it runs the way it does and what makes it such an enjoyable event to support and attend
