Flossie Malavialle complemented her tour of the 4 primary junior schools with a stonking Friday night concert aided and abetted by Bob Fisher, Ruth Price and Tommy Sennett.
The street scene on the day flowed around town without a hitch, the invited dance teams presenting some brilliant displays in very mild weather. The dancing programme included 4 local junior teams who danced their socks off. Who says
the festival is not playing it's part in providing continuity to the folk process!
During the day, Ock'n Dough gave a great performance in the Library. This was complimented for a 2nd year by a group called Poets United, a Peterborough based poets society, who add a different twist on the event. As usual the storytelling sessions in the Queens Street church were will attended. May this variety of events last for a long time.
Straw Bear day ended with blistering performances from Elvis Fontenot and the Sugar Bees and the Northumbrian bias based band The Hedghog's Skin
BUT the icing on the cake, was on Sunday, Rebecca gave birth to Jasper Jon Kell (6lb 15ozs) in Peterborough at 16lb 15oz. OH BOY did we have a birthday party last night.
