GS - he's a banjo-player, and a jolly nice chap. You'da met him at the Ceilidh if you'da bin there!! They seek hime here, they seek him there..............................!! :0)

Great Festival Folk Club in the magnificent surroundings of the Old Hall (15th Century Manor-House/Moot Hall). Excellent concerts there yesterday, and at the Trinity Arts Centre last evening. Stars? Too many to mention them all but I was personally blown away by Julie Ellison (gob-smacking guitar and beautiful, beautiful vocals) and Skatz (Stylish energetic performances of finely crafted self-penned songs - 'The Elephant Man' being typical - humorous, perceptive and Music-Hall in character, but at the same time compassionate and moving).

It's been a magic festival so far - looking forward to anothe great final day.
