.... They make concrete boats at Glasson Dock. Seriously! Will try and get there on Sunday briefly - aged parent living in Cleveleys to visit first. Cleckheaton committment on Saturday means I can't do more. But sounds good to me!

hi Sarah,
racing over from Leeds, Fri eve, straight from work wi m' acoustic band....
Soundcheck for us scheduled for 7.30...

But we're rarin' to give it our best shot.
Beautiful place tho - and so.....
a beery night for us, then, I suppose.
Hic! - D

Would love to "do" this "local" festival one year, especially with IG being the sailor he is - and his crew ain't too bad!

I would have thought that, at a music festival, even one held in a village by water, being decent musicians was more important than being sailors - not suggesting TIGB aren't, of course.

Brilliant set on Saturday afternoon in the village hall - especially the amazing young talent of Kerfuffle - felt like I was witnessing the beginnings of something big! Well done to the people of Glasson - may you go from strength to strength!!

An old friend of mine (Eric Hoyes) was the Harbour Master at Glasson Dock, he sure would have loved this festival. I miss the place myself, if anyone remembers him and knows his daughter, say hi to her from Dave in Nova Scotia for me.

We enjoyed our weekend at Glasson, although we never managed to make the main shows in the Village Hall. The two acoustic concerts we went to in the church were great with a great mix of music and styles. Sessions were good as well, although we managed not to find the main Saturday evening session. I hear the early morning session on the camp site was awesome -- that will teach us to stay in a hotel, our excuse was it was our wedding anniversary. The nyckelharpa and hurdy gurdys were superb as was the young lad Kieron on the violin on Saturday in the sessions -- he even stayed up Friday night so he had that authentic musicians too many late nights look!

Congratulations to all the organiser, performers and participants. The location grows on you as well.

Can anyone advise what / where the camping arrangements were at the Festival please? I've looked on the site, but it doesn't have any info - I can only find details of places with residential caravans - hanks in advance
