I saw Jim (alone) I did get some stuff - but time has stopped me listening to it so far.
I hope to get it all downloaded today.
I thought that was some of the best unaccompanied singing I have ever heard and Sunday night's informal session was brilliant too. The Irish contingent - two of whom are from West London - were particularly stupendous. Finbarr Wall's song about the couple (a parody of a John Riley ballad) was especially efficacious. And the "band" on Sunday night was a bit special too. Jerry O'Reilly sang "The Green Linnet". That'll do me!
It was nice to hook up with Jim Potter too. After about 40 years!!
