Thread Name: Chester Folk Festival: Who's going?
Subject: RE: Chester Folk Festival: Who's going?
Had a wonderful time and thought the festival this year was superb.
My own highlights:

Chance to Meet ... Anahata and Mary Humphreys (magical)

Shropshire Tunes workshop with Neil and Tony which was fantastic

Sunday's Euro Session at the Oak.

The first half of Sunday's concert (Time Bandits, Anahata and Mary Humphreys, Cloudstreet) I enjoyed immensely.   I'm afraid I didn't enjoy the rest of the concert at all because it was too loud and 'busy' for me. I left early with a pounding headache!! This is just an expression of personal taste though, and not a criticism. I happen not to like folk rock at all (or whatever it should be called if I've got that wrong). Judging by the reaction of the audience I'm in a minority!

My biggest problem was that I couldn't be in two places at once.
