Thanks for your kind words Richard, you've earned some Brownie Points *grin*

Another fantastic Moira! I originally thought that the very First Moira was the Best, very reminiscent of Miskin, but this festival just gets better and better every year. Huge thanks to the Committee and all the Volunteers and Stewards who worked so hard to make it such a wonderful weekend. This is a great festival to catch up with old friends & make new ones!!

We had a pretty bad journey up on Friday, arriving to set up the caravan just an hour before my first set but Moira soon had me chilled out enough to enjoy singing in the main tent. I thoroughly enjoyed singing at Moira again and it was great to hear everyone singing with me, there were some wonderful harmonies.

I have to say that the Landlady at the Railway PH was absolutely marvellous once again, a real asset to the Festival. We were there for the MudGather and a couple of late evening sessions and she was very hospitable, what a lovely Lady! Loved the Faggot sandwiches....

Once again we had a good attendance at the MudGather despite so much else going on at the Festival site. Thanks to all who came and sang, hugged, chatted, laughed, brought chocolate and ate speckledy cake & chocolate. Here's the Register:
