Tim won tickets from Folkwaves for the Friday night, and we enjoyed the Ceilidh band (Derbyshire Volunteers), even more so when they said their performance fee would be given to Macmillan Cancer Relief.

The sound on the Bushbury Mountain Daredevlis was a little disappointing - they said they were trying a new technique with one "very sensitive" microphone, which meant that they did the sound mix by moving closer or further away. It did pick up the noise of the generators outside though, but little of the spoken word on stage. Must be a first for me wishing that the sound at a folk festival was a bit louder - especially when the people next to me who had yattered all the way through the act started demonstarting their mobile phone ring tones to each other in the final number.
