Huge thanks to Alan and the team, and to all the singers who came and sang. The song sessions and the banquet food and entertainments were all brilliant. And while it was a shame that many old friends were unable to attend this year, the new dignitaries on the top table acquitted themselves magnificently - thank you Les and Carys Sullivan, Dave Earl, Allan Clarke, Kevin and Lucy Burrow. Also thanks to one of our Wail virgins, George Henderson, for making the trek from Ireland and singing some splendid songs - hope you enjoyed the craic!

We also sang to remember Johnny Collins yesterday from 5 to 5.30pm, and Alan scattered some ashes from an English oak.
