I didn't enjoy this event to any great extent and I would love to know who actually organised it as I don't think they were folkies. The idea was good and I think it could be made in to a brilliant weekend if a folkie did take it in hand. It was lacking in stuff like workshops, celidh dancing, sessions, morris men and having an open mike next to the slot machines aws never really going to work. I also found the big venues to be a little bit impersonal, but I did enjoy the adult only side of it, and before anyone has a go at me I have spent years taking my 3 daughters to festivals and my eldest sings, plays and performs because of that experience ( and because she has a very good voice ) but I don't think that this sort of festival would work for children.
It was also really nice to have a proper bed, toilet and home comforts.
It will be interesting to see next years line up
