The festival was good good good for me!! I had a great time.
Great workshops with Matt Norman for the mandolin..I managed better than last year! Great workshop with Nick and Mary Barber..loved being in the Ceildh band. Went to some excellent concerts. Saw my long term favourite, Martyn Wynnham-Read..Whalley and Fletcher, Mary Humphries and Anahata..Eliza and the ratcatchers...and an amazing 11year old fiddler, Kieran at the family concert and th fddle-fest who played with real feeling. One of the highlights for me was Cockersdale's presentation of Picking Sooty Blackberries.
Could do with more venues to reduce the feeling of being a sardine in a tin!! The Balfour should be back in the programme....huge space up there, not too far from the campe site and on a bus route( 20mins walk)There were a couple of fringe events there but few trekked up to see/take part..and good food there, not to mention near my lovely B&B!!

Suggestions for next year..how about getting Eric Bogle? Damian Barber and his latest Roadshow, which was tops at Dartmoor this year
