Indeed all I saw of the guests was excellent!

I do have some small niggles about some of the material and arrangements but then much of the minuses was negated by shear enthusiasm

Largely down to the organisation of Roy and Mary Clinging and team

Could have done with a shower!

The 'Royal' Oak has been extensively refurbished and put to good use for arranged music sessions

Hope that the Olive Tree is still open for business next year as this is quite central to activities ~ particularly the water supply

Needs a singaround venue for those who prefer largely acoustic or unaccompanied singers sessions

Musicians sessions very well catered for and some fantastic young musicians in evidence

I am told 'Heyfeva' as such are no more, such talent which I saw last year at Chester, brilliant musicians
