Thread Name: Old Songs Festival 2001, How did it go
Subject: RE: Old Songs, How did it go
Also thre: Anglo, Burke, Mike Stroebel, Mark Kleiman, Judy G, Charlie Baum, Nancy Jean, and lots of people who visit, use the DT, but are not "members".

The highlights of the festival for me were Alison McMorland and Tom Spiers, both traditional Scots singers recorded by the Tradition Bearers (a new label any of you interested in traditonal Scots singing should become are of, available from CAMSCO, or course). I also very much enjoyed hearing Normal Waterson and Martin Carthy.

Rain is expected at festivals, especially in that part of the country (how many of us went to Fox Hollow?). So I was surprised when we returned from dinner Saturday nite, went to the Folk Legacy booth and asked what happened to the concert - it had been moved to an indoor location - that is probably a first.
