Just arrived home from Towersey; what a wonderful weekend! Besides meeting fellow Catters I also ran into some old friends I hadn't seen for years. It was a treat to meet Catters in the flesh, and the singing in the barn was thoroughly enjoyable to share.
Daisy's Cragg Vale Gamelan was a real delight, and it was nice to catch some of the other performances in the main festival. Mark Bazeley and Jason Rice did an excellent job of carrying their familys' musical legacies forward. Chris Coe was in superb form. I can't decide what to make of Kathryn Tickell's Ensemble Mystical, but John Kenny's entrance into the Concert Tent playing the one and only Carynx was a truly memorable experience.
Can't make Wareham, and don't know about Fylde, but I will be at Linlithgow as my sister lives there (so I'll be able to sleep in a proper bed - and not have to cross a big field for toilets!)
