Apologies tardiness in responding to festival debriefing.
Meself & the Gloom Band enjoyed a superb several days [& nights] folking about all over, on the campsite, the beer tent, Farmers Alms, The Roy Loke, Social Club & Community Centre.
No shortage of seshes, musicing & signarounds.
Managed to stay away from the concerts as usual but got dragged screaming into the Folk Club, & pleasantly satisfied with wondrous performances from Bernard Wriggley [parody Listen with Mother & the cricket commentary!!- anyone else hear? - hilarious!! ]
Also at the FC saw Roger Wilson - brilliant fiddle & what a voice!
He did 'Hey Joe' [popularised by Jimi Hendrix] on fiddle & for the first time I understood what this trad American folksong was about.
A great guitar player too - Mr Happy appropriately impressed!
