After so many years of running singarounds in Willy's pub don't know how I'll fill the weekend this year. Hopefully when it is re-established next year we will go back to Willy's. Like Ray I have many great memories.....like the Wilsons and Alan Prior filling the upstairs room both physically and vocally....hand-pulled Willy's...and of course all the Willy workshops...and yes Ray I remember the rain. I'm sure you recall the concert when the MC (probably Robin Garside) announced "There are ducks swimming on the campsite"
Hopefully this is only a hiccough and we'll be back in full strength next year,though I can't think of a venue that will be as good as the Winter Gardens. Perhaps ,like other festivals,we are going to have to spread the events a little more around the town.
