Will Pound is an exceptional talent. Look out for his band the QPs. Very good at Towersey. Not sure if Will is resuming the degree course, but tells me he is staying up in Newcastle for the moment.

Also very talented is Doe Mehmet - in the style of Seth Lakeman, but with a more rootsy feel. There was tremendous support from Matt Quinn, David Steptoe and Vic Baines in The Volunteer throughout the week. In the Tradition has never looked healthier - but then, I would say that, wouldn't I?

Only got to play in The Radway once (or was it twice?) during the week.
