Nah, Linda, the inference was that when people spot you (trainspotters/anoracky weirdo types) they'll run the other way...!

Sorry for not saying hello to everyone there- I did my best!

...you all apear to be in gangs to the exclusion of others... I'm sorry if that was the appearance that was given, but it was not the case. It was my first time at the Beverley festival and I took the opportunity of seeing as much as possible of the different venues, often on my own.

I certainly would have greeted an unknown mudcat t-shirt if I had seen it... I didn't get to the Oddfellow's session (apart from waving through the door), so maybe didn't get to see you, GUEST.

I promise to always wear my Mudcat badge in future (and/or t-shirt) and also promise to be nice to anyone who says hello. :0)

Feedback on the fringe:
I thought it was very good indeed, great concerts and singarounds in friendly pubs. I did wonder though about the pub which was the Friday venue for Cara (Moulder's Arms?). Cara played beautifully as ever, but I think there were only four people in the venue who were at all interested in them being there (including me and Mrs Duck!) The drinkers at the bar carried on talking regardless, except for shouting out requests for the Wild Rover...
