Sal - what made it so special for me this year is that it didn't rain! Cheriton Fitzpaine was quite transformed by sunshine and the dancers didn't have to run for cover.

Thanks for the Facebook picture you posted of the concert we sang in at St Matthew's church - it's such a privilege to sing in a venue with such wonderful acoustics that we didn't mind that the sunny weather (and the competition from the Dave Sealey concert) meant that the audience numbered about a dozen at any one time!

Three cheers to Pete and John for putting on another great little festival, and big thanks to Dame Pattie EPNS and Splottie for agreeing to perform in the bijou folk concert at short notice on their night off, and delivering a cracking set! In fact, thanks to all the performers at the bijou concert for a tremendously enjoyable evening. And to all those who contributed to the singaround Derek ran last night after the concert in the Ring of Bells skittle alley.
