Good to see so many fine voices to be heard ringing in the cottage - but where oh where is Tori? She made my cry 4 times in 3 songs last year - too, too wonderful. I should not denigrate any of the other fine performers from last year (well, except perhaps for someone with a "musical" saw, who despite all was perfectly amiable and friendly when sober) but she was wholly the pinnacle of the festival for me. Perhaps since she is young other delights have tempted her away but I DO hope she will be back.

Oh, and John the Barden if passing and Capella, and any others who know, lend an ear and voices to my plea that Marion Button's voice in that setting would just be to die for....
