Yea again- thanks to all who kept it up all weekend! I had to leave the 8 Bells to host a songwriter's workshop with Mick Ryan(if ever you get the chance to take part in one of those with Mick, grab it- so much that was useful and thoughtprovoking, and because Mick threw a couple of his own songs up for discussion & welcomed the resposes, which were honest, it wasn't a lecture, and the participants were generous in allowing everyone else their say)- and by the time that had finished & I'd had some grub, there was no chance of getting back into the Bells! Mr B's session in the Saddlery was also nicely laid back- again, so many performers who like others to join in with them, which is surely what our kind of music is about. So thanks for the atmosphere, Mr B! I think this year was the best yet, there seems to be a momentum about the event, and a lot of goodwill. Good venue now for the Friday concert, too.
