I agree with Carole - it would have been better with a few informal but programmed singaround-style events. But I also agree with Tom - the organisation was brilliant, and all the staff, stewards, etc. seemed to be unfailingly helpful and cheerful. I quite liked the fact that there was a huge range of styles, whatever my personal tastes - and lots of young and relatively new folkies, all enthusiastic about what was going on. There did seem to be rather too many guest artists, some only there to do a 45 min. spot in the whole weekend, but it was good to have time to socialise as well as work.
