Thread Name: Otley Folk Festival 2006 - who's going?
Subject: RE: Otley Folk Festival 2006 - who's going?
Yes it was generally a great weekend I thought. All the booked guests I saw were superb, bar two or three who were still pretty good or worth seeing, and I only encountered one "no-show-er" over the whole time.
OK there were one or two other cockups - what festival ever is free of 'em?! - but in this case the blame shouldn't be laid at the door of the organisers, who in Otley do learn lessons and still get so many essential things so right.
Good to see so many familiar and friendly faces too, I'm sorry not to have made it to the Shellbacks' sing (venue changed!), but some good singing was still to be had - much better this year I might say due to the move of some singarounds into the less smoky parts of the venues concerned.
Here's to number 16 !
