What was that band at the festival club on Tuesday 22nd? The ones with the weird instruments and even weirder hairstyles? Thought they made a great sound. They just barged in past the big bouncers - "You need passes" - "We're performing" - "You still need passes" - they were backstage by then! Mike McGoldrick's band - brilliant - both at the Concert Hall and at the Festival Club (and I can dance to Bulgarian whatever-it-is) and Kepa Junkera (I got one of the few double CDs!) Sorry I couldn't get to Susana Seivane, having seen her twice before, and been entranced. Deaf Shepherd too: never ever disappointed with them. Next year, I take at least a week's holiday during the event as I can never get to enough of it (just 3 nights this year) Tattie B
