Thread Name: Faversham Hop Festival 2009
Subject: RE: Faversham Hop Festival 2009
The Belgians were there as usual, Ralphie, and missing you! Along with the French (inb the same pub!) Flora's right, it's easy to pick isolated incidents and blow them up, but the overall festival was very well supported and the town was packed. 5 stages...
As ever it's a case of where you go and what you make of it... and respecting that the place is full of locals who may never otherwise encounter folk music at all, as you know.... personally i sang Dirty Old Town 5 times on request, and managed plugs for the folk club on many occasions...
Missed the flying fingers... hope they're busy busy...
