Subject: RE: Towersey 2001
I had heard so much about Towersey and in particular, the singing in the barn, that I thought it couldn't all be true... but it was, and more!

Very friendly festival in general, and particularly the 'barn singers'. Thank you all for making me so welcome.

So many high points, but three in particular from the barn to mention here: Being present at Ickle Dorritt's Towersey premiere of Sparehand, and witnessing the effect her song had on all present; the personal satisfaction of working out harmonies with Ickle for The Bergen and singing it together; and hearing Andy Barnes sing The Last Leviathan, and share his powerful song with all.

And I wouldn't have ben there if it wasn't for the Mudcat Café! Roll on next year.
