Just back from a wonderful weekend of sessions, talks, concert - and, Oh Yeah - a rugby match squeezed in there somehow! Lots of new singers and older songs since I was last there, about 5 years ago.

About 150 participants from a wide range of traditions ensured a fantastic range of songs in a relaxed atmosphere with a minimum of formal push-and-shove; large sessions spawning smaller, more intimate sessions; fresh air by the bucketful in the beautiful Donegal landscape. If your main interest is in unaccompanied singing, then you really should get to this festival at least once.

Regards
p.s. a few Mudcatters in attendance, as ever.

We would just like to say that we had a splendid time at Inishowen. Many thanks to Kevin, Jim, Brian, Grace, Sal and everyone else whose hard work behind the scenes, and whose warm welcome and friendship at the seminar, combine to make the weekend quite unique and special. Great singing and great fun, as always. We'll be looking forward to next year, and to meeting up with friends old and new once more!

Helen Pitt & Steve Dawes.
