Fair enough. The programme didn't do justice to what was on offer. The problem is we get limited funding and it comes in too late to organise things properly especially advertising and booking guests.

Last year we had a great free maritime concert in the Maritime Museum Court Room, we had half a dozen historic boats in the Marina. There were dance teams, several venues and stages in marquees. Plenty of singaround and session opportunities. Workshops there were. There hasn't been a ceilidh yet but we're trying to build it up. Tell us what you'd like and we'll do our best. If I remember rightly the main guests were Martin Simpson and The Young Uns, previous year Eliza Carthy and Saul Rose. There's a lot of young talent locally but we're no Sheffield........Yet!
