What a soooooooooooperb night! Such variety, (including in variences of prices for the same rounds) such entertainment, such enthusiasm. I feel guilty that I didnt contribute more for such a great afternoon and evening and that I 'only' managed to attend from 4.30pm till 12.30pm. Wish I'd been there sooner. Nevertheless, What a great night. I'm sure we all learned something and expanded something (two eyes probably expanded his waistline but I'll stop there).

Well done Ross! Well done Folkaholics, well done everyone! Songs and playing that really moved me, particularly Julie, The Ref with his paradise song - he encapsulated my two songs in one perfectly, his combination with Christine, the Italian (?) guest.... I don't mean to leave anyone out but must leave space for others to congratulate you on a fantastic night... Historic in my mind...

The candlelit atmosphere was almost too perfectly timed. (I have my suspicions as the lights came on to Mick Pearce singing about the lightman.) Reminded me of scenes I saw on a website showing candles lit on a beach spelling out Hope made out of tealights and brown paper bags:

Like Martin's unicorn, two eyes and I are more than a little horse today...
