Yes Raggytash, the Free Sandwiches are the same band that turned up at the Sair on our folk day. You left a short while after they started playing so they are probably not your cup of tea. They will no doubt be playing in the covered yard at the back of the Nook, so won't disturb the more sensitive and serious-minded folkie souls happily accomodated inside the Nook. They are definately not your traditional "folk" band but they are wonderful fun and great to join in with and also dance to some of their zany, foot-stomping, east european melodies. Folk festivals are about all sorts of traditions and influences and I personally very much welcome this great diversity and choice.
