I enjoyed it, but not as much as two years ago. There was some late night noise in the part of the campsite where I camped but I always use earplugs when camping so it doesn't usually disturb me.

It's the second time I've seen the Peatbog Fairies and to be honest (and sounding like my father) it all sounded the same after a few minutes. I'm sure the each time the piper played a solo it was the same bit of music as the previous solo.

I really enjoyed Spiers and Boden, Van Eyken, Faustus, Crucible and Andy Cutting, Rob Harbron, Becky Price and Jon Swayne in the Manor Pavillion.    I also really enjoyed Mawkin after the power failure and the Anchor Scratch Band after Tickled Pink were cancelled due to the rain. I only made it to a few sessions but didn't get to play (too many ceilidhs).

The bouncers did seem to be a bit over enthusiastic at The Anchor and they certainly let in less people than they let in two years ago.
