Ditto the earlier comments on sound - who on earth over-egged the chorus pedal on the Tom Paxton song? Everything sounded out of tune as a result. And how the hell can you lose June Tabor's voice in the mix?

Bellowhead and Karine Polwart both sounded brilliant - maybe as less long-established artists, they have to cope with lousy sound mixes on a more regular basis?

Would have like to see Maddy Prior invade the stage during Rambling Jack's number. That would have looked like a scary bar scene from a Tom Waits song. Mind you, good on them both for being so sprightly.
