This thread looks as tho it needs some life .... Here it is again.

So, experienced indoor campers, I've booked a space and have never done it before, and may never do it again. Can I used a pop up one man tent? I thought it would be more private.

Loxley are performing on the Sunday, but I thought I'd come for the weekend.

How come no one is posting in this thread? Have I got the wrong one?

Christine and I will be there, but like Seaking we too are on the artist list. Are we going to have more performers than audience?

Lovely weekend, great venue and obvious support for the event from the Swan staff, which makes a huge difference. Didn't sing as much as I'd hoped due to badly timed cold, throat gave up on Saturday night.

Nice to catch up with old friends, meet some new ones. Great work Marje, looking forward to June..

What a fantastic weekend!!

Huge thanks to all at the Swan who gave us such a good welcome and worked so hard to look after us all. What a great venue!

Many thanks to Marj and all the volunteers who put the weekend together and carried it off with aplomb. Just wonderful!

Good fun, wasn't it!

The Swan is a lovely venue for the size of the event. It means you get to see all your friends and meet new ones, performers and listeners alike, in passing up and down stairs, at the bar and sitting out in the sunshine. In February!

Lovely. Well done all.

Yes, it was a lovely weekend, just right for a post-winter meeting up with friends, meeting new ones and hearing some new songs. Does anyone know the name of the American or Canadian lady songwriter who wrote a song called (I think) Open Water, about what happened to the people searching for Franklin and moving into the present day via one sailor rescued by locals. It was excellently sung by a lady in the Sunday Survivor's session with her partner's, also excellent, guitar accompaniment.

I took a few photos so add a link to them here once I've sorted them.
