I have just got home from the most enjoyable evening I can remember this last few years!
I must admit two years ago I went to the first Portaferry meeting and I was quite disapointed, this time WOW! everyone I met (including locals) were very talented, AND very nice to meet! what a night. The music was magic, the three folk from Iceland (with exception of the WHITE SHARK MEAT) I enjoyed. The Icelandic music was fantastic, their harmony was flawless. Lead fingers stole the show!! A gentleman and a VERY talented musician. Fibula (Katy)and her parents put us up and fed us, what a lovely family. All I can say is I hope next year I can get time off to go back (even if the gathering isn't on) I fell in love with the village and the folk who live there. The locals who Katy organised to play for us were very talented. Thanks Fibula.

I supose this isn't a thread but more a statement! nice to hear from everyone else who was there.
