I told you all last year and I'll tell you again now, those who didn't come to the Gainsborough (Lincolnshire) Folk Festival are suckers. Another fantastic (and cheap) weekend with superb sets from AKMED'S CAMEL (Friday-night Ceilidh), KERFUFFLE (watch out you oldies, the youngsters are coming!), TEGWEN & EMMA (More youngsters - Stunning), JULIE ELLISON (a major talent), the magnificent COOPE, BOYES AND SIMPSON (need I say more?), JEZ LOWE AND THE BAD PENNIES (Oh Man!!), THE GUYS (& GALS) FROM THE LION, WATH-ON-DEARNE (Excellent almost-local talent and generally all-round Good Eggs), WINTER-WILSON (Dave, songwriter & performer extraordinaire and Kip, a great voice and sex-on-a-stick!), LES BARKER (daft as a brush and side-splittingly hilarious) and FIREBRAND (great tunes and the wonderful voice of Miranda Sykes). Twenty-Five Quid the lot! Can't ask for more.

Also excellent singarounds and open stage - Lou Marriott, 'Sensible Shoes' and many more.

Thanks to all who came, played and paid to support us and thanks to all involved in the organisation - especially SOOZ, without whom it wouldn't happen.
