Really enjoyed the weekend - great sing in the Star on Sunday night,the best of the weekend. Hope the landlord will have us back next year, that is if he can remember we were there, I think he was a little under the weather!

Hmmm, badgerbiker eh? Another Catter at Upton I've not met before!!! Any clues for identification?

I'll do the Register tomorrow, still feeling a bit under the weather after the operation this morning.

By the way, has everyone filled in their 'Feedback Forms'? They were on the back of the fringe program sheet & I reckon they're a brilliant idea!

Thoroughly enjoyed the fest and the weather was fairly kind. Plenty of singarounds & musicians sessions which I really enjoy. There was a good variety of performers at the concerts esp Dangerous Curves.

Hiya Hilary - 'fraid it's me Bridget, although I should really just be 'badger' now cos I sold my beloved bike last year. As I said, great weekend, lovely to see everyone again. I wonder who will show up at Whitby, or there is always the Gower fewstival in June.

I was there but didn't have venue tickets, just camping. Played guitar in a nice session on Sunday night on the decking at the star with Pete Grasby and a few others. There was a fantastic Irish session in the Kings head one night, Fiddle, tenor banjo a guy on a mando/cello and the most amazing irish box player I have ever seen - anyone know who he was?

No I'm not badger as well, perhaps need to think about becoming 'badgerbikeless' though, ha, ha! Hope you'e not in too much pain.I hear alcohol works well although of course I've never tried it myself!

Hello my guru!
I would love to be Gazza but unfortunately he was taken so it's the bridesmaid position for me- unless Gazza has given up in which case I'll happily step into his shoes.

Great session - only sorry I couldn't stay longer. Pablo was in the Muggery too - what a terrific voice. And, now I know why Mr & Mrs Scarecrow are who they say they are. I didn't realise we were going to *eat* the chocolate. For some reason I thought we were going to rub it over each other like symbolic Glastonbury mud. Perhaps next year ...

Yes indeed, what a great voice! I'd already put Gene Burton on the register as that is a registered name, so it looks like Gene has a dual registration as Pablo. It would be best if Gene could contact Joe Offer & whittle himself down to one identity here, perhaps someone could let him know?

BTW it is possible to just change your registered name here if you decide to, just adjust it in the membership pages and all your previous posts will show your new registered name!

Silas, another amongst us I either haven't met or realised your identity! Went past your Sunday evening session on the decking on the way to the fabulous sing upstairs at the Swan, you all seemed to be enjoying yourselves!

badgerbiker & gazza2, I'll attempt to remember not to ask you about it again, but knowing my memory I bet I will *grin*

Hope everyone's having a good weekend! My next festival is Bude & my hand should be on the mend by then hopefully.
