We could only manage Monday.

Despite most of the singers having performed since Friday night they were in excellent voice. Enjoyed everyone we saw, Lou Killen was brilliant, but so was Hughie Jones, Derek Gifford, Stormalong John and Geogg Higginbottom and all the rest.

Imagine the scene Stork Inn, small cosy room with large fireplace, Stormalong John (all six I think) in the fireplace singing at full volume. The wall of sound was amazing, like a hard rock concert, and all with the the human voice x 6 and the odd concertina here and there.

The venues -- Stork and Dalton were just big enough on Monday, you had to wait one or two songs for a seat.

If only we had been able to make more of the weekend.

Congratulations to the organisers, superb performers in a great setting; what more could you ask for.
