I was at Birmingham. Loved it!! Nearly as good as last year's. Had to miss the end, though, because of our train. Did Alison Moorer sing in the second half? Shame about Tim O'Brien - and I thought there was rather too much Paul Brady (I am a fan, though) and wonder if he picked up the gaps left by Tim.

Agree with everything everyone has said about the genius that is Mike McGoldrick. Looking forward to seeing him with Capercaille next weekend.

I wasn't disappointed as it was a brilliant evening. I would have liked to hear a bit more from Aly Bain - but I'm seeing him and Phil soon too!!
