Well, how many went?

The weather was atrocious for the most of it, very wet and very windy.

Of the acts that bente was looking forward to:

London Philharmonic Skiffle Orchestra - were absolutely fantastic

Wongawilli - did not appear because they were ill and had withdraw

BordererS - loud, frenetic and just a bit too gimmicky, but you have to remember (myself in particular) that it is the Skagen Festival, not, the Skagen Folk Festival - all/any type of music can be presented.

The Friday night concert was amazing (Beggars Row; The Young Dubliners & Runrig)

Johnny Silvo appeared and was very impressive, as always.

A young band from N.I. Aontas were outstanding, to anybody reading this if you ever get the chance to see them live do so, you will not regret it.
