Great opening spot from two Acoustic Dudes.

Great first half by KAI, super voices and unusual sound – sparse marimba with guitar, fiddles, Arabic drum and three very nice voices. They performed mostly original compositions, songs and tunes, in a style all their own. Hopefully we'll see more of them in the local area soon.

Great couple of songs from JOHN BREEZE, don't forget Coope, Boyes and Simpson this Friday in St Albans and Les Barker the week after.

Great second half from THE WOODMEN, to quote Richard Thompson "all those old songs they're singing, such comfort they're bringing". New life to old standards six and twelve string guitars, demon harmonica and all manner of percussion.

Great evening, thanks for coming everyone, especially Mudcatter Ross, who runs the sessions at Barton le Clay in Bedfordshire, I hope the journey was worth it.
