Thread Name: Butlins Great British Folk Fest 2011
Subject: RE: Butlins Great British Folk Fest 2011
It was my first visit this year, and I thought it was OK but could improve. The only act I caught that I didn't like were the three Foolish Monkeys, who were much too loud, especially the percussion. But on the whole I thought it was OK. I did enjoy the informal session, which was all the better for being informal; If Butlins had organised it thay would have employed a professional and it might not have been as good. Chumbawumba were terrific, inspite of being greeted by some very noisy audience members.

So all in all not a bad weekend.
