Subject: RE: Swinton Festival - The End
Well, all over bar the shouting. Which will occur from 1pm today in the pub :-)

Keith Donnely, who I had not seen before, was brilliant. Excelent singer and songwriter and absolutley wonderful raconteur. Had the audience in stitches at times. Good to see Ged and Dave together as Staff Folk for their 40th anniversary as well.

We will almost certainly have a sing and play and some sort of folk club event around this time next year, but unless someone wants to take up the challenge, that is it for Swinton Folk Festival. As I said earlier, sad but it is time for us long in the tooth organisers to let our old friend go.

Cheers
