It has always been Chris's ambition to join the main stage festivals.

I'm only amazed it has taken so long.

We stopped going to Beverley when Nellies ceased to be involved and it became "find the folk tradition".

Beverley itself is well worth a visit at most times of the year. The Minster is amazing and there is scope for lots more events outwith of folk. Thirty years ago was a good starting point but only the "folk" world realised that.

As regards Adastra making a fortune - as someone once said; "the only way to make a small fortune out of folk music is to start with a large fortune"!!!
