How long have we go the campsite for? More importantly for tenters, how long will the loos stay on-site? (I'm an ignorant newbie xx) |

Subject: RE: FolkStation- Isle of Wight Folk Festival From: Valmai Goodyear Date: 08 Jul 10 - 02:18 AM Someone whose tastebuds I trust, and who like me was weaned on Harveys, recommends Goddards beer. This is important purely because I need a decent pint as a prop in a song, you understand. What's the weather forecast, anyone? Valmai |

Subject: RE: FolkStation- Isle of Wight Folk Festival From: Richard Bridge Date: 13 Jul 10 - 06:44 PM Hmm. Sounds like I may need to find a way to beat the ferry prices next year - or borrow a small tent and bring mandolin and boxes of capos so I can borrow guitars, to ferry as a foot passenger! |

Subject: RE: FolkStation- Isle of Wight Folk Festival From: Valmai Goodyear Date: 14 Jul 10 - 04:47 AM An absolute blast from start to finish. Heard lots of good music, played some of it, met plenty of old friends and made some new ones, drank lots of jolly good beer. Blissfully good weather and a charming setting. I saw a buzzard and another bird of prey I couldn't identify over the trees round the camp site one afternoon. Valmai (one of the three bods in Harveys bar-towel coats) |

Subject: RE: FolkStation- Isle of Wight Folk Festival From: TheSnail Date: 14 Jul 10 - 07:28 PM Steve Parkes We have red kites, Valmai--but you'd know those, I dare say. Also peregrines. Nah. Wasn't a kite. Smaller than the buzzard. We wondered if it might be a peregrine. Fantastic weekend. Lots of lovely music, met old friends, made new ones and it only rained at night. Many thanks to the organisers. |

The atmosphere was wonderful, a little bit of M....n still remains. Thanks to all who came and supported what looks like a permanent fixture on the Folk Map. Loads of photos still to sort but two nights of Morris and a Local fun day to help with, before we get a chance!! Andy |
