some of us are back!

I have 8 new CDs & met almost as many Mudcatters (including Bob Zentz, whose CD I had bought before I was told he was a Mudcatter)

Lots of great singing, good company, great musical offerings, all accompanied by a tiny sniffle, fortunately not the famous Canberra throat, so I could still sing along in all the singing sessions. Some well-known unaccomanied singers (not Mudcatters, I hasten to add) were very much the worse for wear after early mornings singing & drinking Guinness.

We had a great Shanty session with Danny Spooner, a very enthusiastic hymn singing session, under the inspired direction of Hrothgar, & singing sessions every night up to at least 2am.

Us water drinkers woke up feeling very well even after a few hours sleep, tho a certain Mudcatter tried to choke on Drambuie, causing consternation among the assembled singing session. That'll larn you to buy & offer around fiery liquor, stick to the usual pink stuff as lemon,lime & bitters doesn't catch in your throat!

Hurry up next festival
