Seemed like a good festival to me - first visit. One or two minor things I could do without, and catters should always be aware of ANY notice that excludes liability for personal injury (or indeed death). Not only is such a notice meaningless (you cannot exclude liability for personal injury or death) the notice itself breaks the law.

I thought the thunderstorm on Sunday mroning was awesome - not much further away it was a tornado apparently and the session with Tom Napper, Pete Betts and Nick Scott et al. in the Spa was brilliant.

Old Rope String Band were hilarious as was Les Barker. Last Night's Fun were brilliant as always - one of those extra special performances that make it all worthwhile. Met loads of catters for the first time and found out how liz the sqeak gets her name - described by Les Barker as a school of dolphins and then by Old Rope as a rodent.
