I just got back too
The Tony Rose benefit was a real tear jerker at the end - nice to see Eliza Carthy too - shame so many people gave it a miss. Who were the rapper act they were fantastic

I have to agree with Challis that Ouse Washes Molly Dancers were fantastic, specially when they were playing outside the council offices and got moved on (we were paying a parking fine at the time)
I really liked the Shropshire Bedlams too, maybe because they had a habit of running across the road in front of traffic during a performance, or was it the Tuba that made the music stand out
The Johnson girls followed by Norma Waterson/Martin Carthy, was a wonderful night
Danu were spectacular, with Dan Milner/Bob Conroy/Johnson Girls kicking the night off
Now I am looking through the program to see who I have missed.....
Bill Jones and 422 were both superb (did we ever hear the broken plate? - or is it a comedy routine they pull every time)

There were lots of great pipe players doing their stuff in different groups and loads of talents youngsters everywhere

Once it was hard to concentrate on the music while Dave Swarbrick was looking so ill in a very very hot marquee

Fantastic Week, very tiring, think I need a holiday
