Highlight, National Folk Festival 2003:

At the start of the Festival Ball they played waltzes. Now I reckon there is nothing as good as waltzing with a woman in a big dress. The lady I was dancing with is a really lovely dancer, and just to top it off, the band didn't play standard stuff like "Ye Banks and Braes" or "Believe Me If All Those Endearing Young Charms" - they played Strauss. It was magical. We only touched down at the corners of the ballroom.

The band, by the way, were a South Australian family group called Tamarisque.
