Thanks for the positive comments guys. The star in was the "Yorkshire" pub at the festivals inception, and as a folkie myself, and the new landlord, it is heartening to see that we are heading in the right direction

Thanks for the correction Richard Bridge. I knew the Swan didn't have Young Richard Grainger running a session.

It was briliant to see The Keelers, The Wilsons, Barry & Ingrid Temple, Ian Russell, Jonny Handle and a whole gang of my North East folkie pals in my pub. Although, i must admit, there were just as surprised to find a familiar face from the northern folk scene as the landlord :-)
