The good lady Duck and myself have too much to organise in general. We look forward to someting such as the Beverley Fringe as a chance to just chill-out. The field where we camped was an ideal play area for our twins. Having youngsters restricts what can be attended, for various reasons, including the fact that they can get restless in long sessions or concerts. It is a pain in the neck if you have to pay a lot of money to go to a concert, then are unable to stay in it because the Littlies are bored. Having a pub which opens onto an enclosed field is a godsend to us.
I certainly introduced myself to anyone who apeared to be a Mudcatter. And I met a few ones I had not previously crossed paths with.
Oombanjo - did you find the Blue Clicky to the Honking Duck, which I left somwhere ? If not - here it is again http://www.honkingduck.com/ . (Any news about the proposed occasional American Old-Time Music session at Nellies?)
Looking forward to a Fringe next year.
Quack!
