Ceilidh volume was acceptable. The Sound-desk had a meter and they knew how to use it. No earplugs for me - and that is the acid test.

The volume for Marquee 1 was hardly the level for people sitting quietly in their seats. A good job they didn't let people in for the sound checks - on health and safety grounds I would bet.

M Pantin was a not what I would call "perfect" but plenty of hardened ceilidhnauts on E-Ceilidh liked them. Grand Union were on form. And John Kirkpatrick was all you would expect from a "notso minor deity". Well crafted intros, puns, walkthroughs - a beacon of almost perfection. When he becomes perfect - shoot me.
