Thanks for pointing out the Strawbs did make it - only to perform in a room which itself was at sub-zero temperatures. Fortunately aheating engineer was called to sort it out for the next day.   Great Festival, good accomodation, friendly staff.

For me, a little too much blues, but hey that's me, and of course some of the dropouts (Unthanks, Renbourn/McShee) were the prime folk part of the pie. But scheduling could have been better thought through: the original schedule had Remborun/McShee against Strawbs (the former were unable to make it owing to the weather), but also The Gathering (feat. Ray Jackson) at the same as Rod Clements solo: realoly dumb.

Kate Rusby was spectacular and Digance showed yet again he can command a lunchtime crowd with absolute confidence.
