Big, big thanks to Cath, all the organisers and the small army of volunteers, who all worked tirelessly all weekend to produce yet another brilliant, friendly and very well organised festival.

My own enjoyment of the weekend was affected by a domestic medical drama at my parents and by a very drunken and violent youth on Saturday night. But that takes nothing away from what was truly a superb weekend.

It was so good to meet up again with the 'extended family' of all my folkie friends for the first time this year and I look forward to the next opportunity for us all to get together again.

God bless you all.

Chris
