I came down from Manchester on Sat and Sun and , despite weather, had a couple of good days and met some nice people. The landlords in both the Lord Binning and the Royal Oak were very welcoming. Sat in on a great session with Ilanach, Sunday dinnertime and did one of my songs '1847', which seemed to go down well. I'll be back next year and, defying the weather will bring the tent
