Well Sandy & I had a good relaxing time Sally!
And, after the inevitable slowish start, the 12noon to 6pm The Sea Song & Shanty Session, which Steve & I ran, went very well - and it was head-to-head with the football!
I'm sure that the people who attended enjoyed the weekend! Yes, overall there were fewer people at the festival this year but could you have done better with your marketing?
It was a pity that The Three Tuns decided that it wouldn't let its bars be used for music & song but I don't think that made any significant difference.
It will be interesting to see how the English Country Music Weekend is received by the locals. Again The Three Tuns has opted out, so the main sessions are in The Church Barn and The Six Bells - and I gather Dave Hunt, who is organising it, has had trouble with them about the potential loss of their food trade in the evenings!
So see you on Friday 23 to Sunday 25 June at Bishop's Castle?
"When I heard of some ringing, some dancing and singing ...!"
