I didn't get to see much at the festival - traders tend not to!!

However I had some 'catters at the stall all of whom were a delight to meet and chat too.

Col K (birthday boy)
Ruth Archer (with her new melodeon)
Breton Cap
Guest MC Fat
Guest Ken J
Elizabeth Padgett
Ray Padgett (no relation)
John (?)Browne
Les from Hul
Maggie from Hull
Ossonflags
Skipy
Mr. Red
Mr. Yellow (who bore a remarkable resemblance to Mr. Red)
Linda Kelly
My Guru Always Said
Pistachio
and one undecipherable name that could be "Stray".

Can I make a special mention of the Glorystrokes ceilidh?

Great gig lads - loved the outfits (even the soundman had cuts and blood on his arms) - they were so good Mrs. Folkiedave was trying to work out who was who and even struggled with recognising Nigel.

And a small gesture by Tom - giving drumstick to a small boy has made a fan for life - problem is he too wants to be a drummer with a Mohican now.

Martyn Harvey deserves a special mention too - I loved the light stick.

>>John (?)Browne<<

Was probably "Martin Browne" who would have been with "Elizabeth Padgett" who is no relation to "Ray Padgett" :-)
