Thanks Tony- A lively discussion beats the hell out of putting a tent up :0)

Here's hoping it stays fine long enought to put the tent up. Having been watching the weather reports for the weekend the outlook isn't good.

It's looking less and less likely that Mick and I will be able to go. It's a sell out! Great for the festival - well done - but not so great for us. Mick has emailed the organisers asking if there is any chance, but we don't hold out much hope.

Have a great time everyone.

Think I've located campsite on the map. Is it opposite the church?

Yes but .... The vehicular entrance to the campsite is next turn right (out of town) and about 200 yards on the right. The most noticeable churchified ediface is the Pepper Pot which is a heritage centre now.

Brill festival - a lot of singing but also a bit of dancing and playing my concertina. It was a magical muddy cafe session late on Sunday night and the spiced rum, hot tea and chips helped too! Great to see so many good friends!

Ms Lemon
They also got to hear the song - though not till the survivors session - the one I was in anyway. The landlord in the Kings head is so friendly and he was keen to open the back bar (Stable Pipe).

I suggested if they had the word from the landlord next year the info was put in the programme that the Kings Head was a good place to be, and start looking for the stragglers on Monday night there. We had to decamp to the back bar because of the amplified duo in the main bar but that actually allowed singers a chance.

Had a wonderful time Lovely to meet so many friends again. Sorry I couldn't join the Mudpatch cafe choir but heard their full repetoire from the caravan at the other end of the site! I'm still laughing at His Worship & the Pig thanks to the nursing staff of St Derellas and the collective latex glove orchestra (aka the audience.)-you had to be there

I have performed in the latex glove orchestra, two summers ago at 4 Fools Festival- when Les Barker was performing with HW&tP...!

Sorry not to meet you, Emma. I wore my Mudcat badge nearly all weekend, but wasn't accosted once! :0)

Q. Where has everyone gone?
A. To look at the Upton-upon-Severn website to see if they can see themselves in the photies!

I've spotted one mudcatter and several Shellbacks so far. How many familiar faces can you find?
