I had an absolutely fantastic time at Whitby. 'Icebound' was superb, made more poignant as I've just read / TV watched about Ernest Shackleton's own and his supply missions, both of which were icebound and experienced the same problems and heroism.

Hours and hours of excellent English music sessions, old time American, David Oliver's ceilidh band workshops, Hexham Morris session in the Middle Earth, melodeon net session welcoming me even though I'm from 'the other side' and play concertina, everybody friendly and lots of laughs.   The feedback form has been completed and sent, the organisers have been emailed and told.

Roll on 2013!   And THANKS to everybody who helped to organise it.   You brighten up my life.

A list of tunes as long as yer arm to learn for next year....
