So, where were all the folkies?

I fielded a number of grumbles in the way the Morris dancing was organised this year. Knowing many of the teams who have been involved over the last 20 years and thwe festival's history, and how the organisation has changed in 2012 and its organiser's aspirations, I'd be interested to hear anyone elses reaction and impressions.

For myself, I mainly went to see folk-jazz band Follia from Belgium, hoped to see Sur les Docks, and ditto The Fabulous Fezheads, achieving two out of the three. As usual, the town was packed, with loud music blaring out from the three main stages - not to mention that at some of the pubs in town. It was impossible to walk up Preston Street in the afternoon.

In all, somebody must be doing something right.

Discuss!
