Gaucho Gainsborough Folk Festival (125* d) RE: Gainsborough Folk Festival 18 Oct 04


Listen Guys, what can I say? I just had a cracking day on Saturday.
Workshops were great. Julie's on guitar was really helpful and more than enough tips and exercises to keep me going for the rest of me days! The singing workshop with Cockerdale was great. Lots of rounds and harmony rendition of Roll on the Day at the end blew my socks off (well I have been wearing them for a week).

And songwriting with Jez in the vestry. Again helpful and delivered with real humility from one of the country's leading word and tunesmiths, in my view.

Real pleasure to be there and that's without the concerts. I loved Bill Meek's sense of humour. His performance with John Connolly was one of my highlights. Also Julie, Derek Brimstone and Jez and the Bad Pennies all fantastic. Thanks to all the organisers and stewards, I'm still on cloud nine! I just need a month or two to let it all distil. Thanks to you all for the welcome and hard work.

And also to villain for the push that got the yellowbellies project going. Got the CD and am really enjoying that too.
