Unfortunately because its a shared boat it has to be booked almost a year in advance.
I do like small festivals where you get to hear a lot of songs that are not sung in your own locals - and a chance to join in with different people playing- much more fun than the ' names' that inhabit the folk world.
Long Wittenham sounded perfect - but Eynsham looks good too. I'm looking forward to getting the boats pointy end heading south for Oxford tomorrow to see what we can find. I'll take my 8 sting fiddle in the hope that I find something.
Thanks everyone for your suggestions
