Campsite open at 12 noon Thursday, events start Friday mid-day and close at 9pm Monday. New site is Thame Showground nearer to habitation in Thame, hence current format.

Ceilidhs (and one Cajun set on Fri late - Mamou anyone?) are sumarised at Mr Red's dance page for Thame And there will be impromptu dances (with music) on grass Thurs and Monday night if Steve Harris has anything to do with it.
Tell us more Steve...............

Bah! Weather! According to the BBC/Met Office Thursday onwards should be much brighter.

Woo! Looking forward to another fun and frolic-packed few days. Pity the Thursday has had to be sacrificed to the new site, but in many ways it should be an improvement. And not forgetting my ukulele workshops: every day at noon; plus BURP are playing on the Parasol stage on Friday afternoon. But I will fit in a fair few ceilidh moments, too! All good.

Jim and I are there with The Lemonade Trailer. We're arriving mid afternoon if all goes to plan. Then we had off to Loughborough to do a gig as Mice in a Matchbox at the acoustic club. Back to Thame Friday morning. Ah... showbiz!

See you all there for your Lemonade

The festival website is down. Anyone have a programme they can tell folks? Someone wants to know about Bellowhead.

I've linked this mudcat thread to the towersey Facebook page

Did anyone see Billy Watman 12 on Monday? If you did, be sure to pester the committee to book him next year.

If you didn't and are a guitarist, you will be amazed and dis-heartened at the same time. And he is young enough to make you weep!
