Ah, I remember this when it was Weymouth Folk day and we headlined Jake Thackery.

Sadly, I can't be there, someone give the Black Dog a pat for me and pay my respects to the Brewery - it was a pint of John Devenish that turned me from a cider drinker to a beer drinker way back in 1982. Thanks for that, Alex.

I shall be there too but then I do live there and my better half is chair of the commitee (did I spell that right). I shall be holding a Bodhran workshop on Saturday and I am also driving the sound desk for the busking session, at least part of the time, so if anyone would care to prise a foaming pint into my shakey hands I will ensure that they get good sound.

What do you have to do to get a spot on the stage in the Brewers Quay? I dropped into the Kings Arms and did a couple of songs, but it was all a bit quiet.

Its about the third time I've been - although it was in the pavillion last time. Does anybody have news of the guy who edits Southern Tap magazine? didn't see him around this year? hope he's okay!

Thanks to all of you who came to the Wessex Fest, a very special thanks to No Fixed Abode and Wiz Jones for making my job so easy, I was the sound desk driver for the evening. I hope all who came will turn up next and bring your friends with you.
Luv to all

Thanks to all for making my first Wessex so enjoyable. The open sessions in the Sailors Return were good fun, and my 15 minute Showcase spot on Sunday at the Warehouse Theatre was a great experience.

Loved seeing Wiz Jones and John Conolly again, both brilliant. Other people I really enjoyed seeing:- Triskele, Bag of Rats, North South Collide, and the showstoppers for me No Fixed Abode, what talent.

Hope to see you next year.
