Hehehe, don't let this 'person' wind you all up.

I was at Southwell and had a great time. Jools was there to draw in the local non folkies and it seemed to work but it wasn't really part of the proper folk festival. Jools has mass market appeal so can attract huge crowds anywhere he goes. Proper folk acts have a limited market so obviously can't attract the same crowds. I think that main tent was too big for a folk festival, although there was a big crowd in on Sunday night. That was a great night, Melrose Quartet were wonderful! A shame people were too cold to stay to see Brass Monkey though.
