Subject: RE: Review: Jools Holland at Southwell Festival
We went to the 'Folk Festival' and had a wonderful time except for the weather. The Sunday night concert (the highlight for us) was brilliant and showed off some of the best talent on the 'Folk' scene today, with the obvious exception (what was Mr B. trying to achieve?) The Wilsons gave an outstanding performance to start the concert with their powerful singing and banter with the audience. The Melrose Quartet (new to us) were fantastic. Then John Boden & the R.K's??? The Concert finished with the very talented 'Big Band' sound of Brass Monkey. It was a shame that a few people had left early to try and warm up elsewhere, because they were excellent. Well done the Committee! but you will have to try harder with the weather!!
