Thread Name: Did Warwick Festival happen this year?
Subject: RE: Did Warwick Festival happen this year?
Carrivick sister, Blair Dunlop, The Young 'Uns, The Old 'Uns!, Graham Knights, Jim Mageean, Katriona Gilmore and Jamie Roberts Wilsons, GU4 all of mention and seen

Living Tradition and "Song Spot" on the Wff site places to be

Hardly went in the main tent and not much song wise in town (resited to Song Spot) if there was I missed it

Young 'Uns very funny totally off the cuff and impromptu ~ David is a great lad despite his sight problems and it seems that songs about Hartlepool, Stockton and other places are the current in thing. Good to see some trad stuff and shanties from em too, altho novel to sing shanties in harmony ~ but I am a fan (as they know!!)

Hedghog Pie had an amp blow up on stage affecting their time and one or two numbers were omitted regrettably

Dave Burland was very funny as usual and great songs including Dalesmans Litenay to Lakes of Ponchatarain tune! I had heard once before

Carrivicks musicianship great with contemporary songs largely

Jamie and Kat brill ~ Jamie on his way (I reckon) to become the new Seth Lakeman, great music and looks! and Kat can talk for Britain!

O and a visit from Kate Rusby and family to look around!
