Thanks Aeola, that's how most folks felt. Just wanted to correct a typing slp in my previous post - Ben & Joe did an extra 3 quarters of an hour - they were down for a one hour set, and gave us an hour and three quarters - plus they had two brilliant backing people - fiddler Paloma Trigas, who believe it or not was fiddling as fast (or faster?) than Joe (check her out on Google) and a female vocalist whose name I don't know. (Anyone help? Think she might be Ben's sig other.) One of my "picks" of the weekend was Ember, but there were so many outstanding acts besides the ones I mentioned earlier - Grace Notes, Mawkin Causley, The Durbervilles, Duncan McF in multiple manifestations, Bayou Gumbo. Well, check the website if you weren't there, and judge for yourself. And for anyone who ignores the names they don't know, I'll guarantee you missed something brilliant :0) Thanks to everyone who helped, by the way, stewards, MCs, camp site people - the poor folk in the office ... cheers Jim
