A great small festival. Everyone I encountered was very friendly and the weather could hardly have been better for the time of year. I thoroughly enjoyed all the spots I did there and the church is an absolute delight to sing in.

Congratulations to Pete and John.

Just got back. 4 hours for 110 miles! M5 & M4 closures.

A great little festival, long may it reign.

Thanks Kitty & Derek for getting us focussed so early on - we've been so busy with other things lately, we arrived without having had a rehearsal for months.

Sal - what made it so special for me this year is that it didn't rain! Cheriton Fitzpaine was quite transformed by sunshine and the dancers didn't have to run for cover.

Thanks for the Facebook picture you posted of the concert we sang in at St Matthew's church - it's such a privilege to sing in a venue with such wonderful acoustics that we didn't mind that the sunny weather (and the competition from the Dave Sealey concert) meant that the audience numbered about a dozen at any one time!

Three cheers to Pete and John for putting on another great little festival, and big thanks to Dame Pattie EPNS and Splottie for agreeing to perform in the bijou folk concert at short notice on their night off, and delivering a cracking set! In fact, thanks to all the performers at the bijou concert for a tremendously enjoyable evening. And to all those who contributed to the singaround Derek ran last night after the concert in the Ring of Bells skittle alley.

I visited for the day on Saturday for the first time. What a lovely little village, and a beautiful day.

It's soooo Devon!

A lovely simple inexpensive festival, with the feeling of the village joining in with food and drink; not only in the pubs but in the Methodist church and the C of E church too. Both pubs had lots going on as well as concerts in both churches. This is a perfect weekend and so far as I could see, running with very few problems and no one complaining to me about anything. Oh someone did mention that the camp sites were full, but that's not a bad thing, it shows the little inexpensive festival is a winner.

We need more festivals like this, small, inexpensive and uncommercialised. So come on folk family (cos that's what we are) if you have a large back garden or a couple of fields, let's go for it. Back to our folk tradition roots.

Well done Pete and John, Long may you reign.
Looking forward to bringing Loxley next year.

xx Sal

Tug - although the artists are told in advance what events they're involved in, I don't think any of us see the whole programme until we collect it from the caravan....

I know that there's a concert in St Matthews church on Saturday afternoon from 3-5pm, hosted by John Morris, because we're singing in it!

Bijou because it's a small venue - the skittle alley of the Ring O'Bells - and accommodates the real ale bar (poured from tapped barrels rather than pumped) as well as the concert...

The artists performing in the bijou folk concert this year, in addition to Kitty Vernon and Derek Burgess, will be Bill McKinnon, Parker & Watts, Nicola Clark, Hanging Johnny, Gallimaufry, Ramblin Minor and Gilly Kemp - not necessarily in that order.

Dear Mudgather people

I was talking to John last night and so far nobody has contacted him to voluteer their services to run the Mudgather. If anybody is definitely going to do this could they ring him in the very near future. It will be programed event at 12 noon on Sunday until 2pm ish. There is a fall back position but a volunteer would be first option.
Please remember tickets are available but camping is limited in this exeptional little village, now's the time to get organised if your going.

Hi Hils

Well the camper is in with the mechanic. He didn't seem to think there would be any problems so I'll say a defnite yes please.

If it can't be done then I'll just spring for a B&B.

So, put us both down for it please.

Thanks Rhiannon (and you're welcome!!) but as it would be a programmed event we would need a very definite offer (good luck with the camper doctor), so let's see if anyone else can help out first. If we can't get a definite then something else would be programmed in, probably a Sing.

They're doing it again - no, not in Crediton, it's in Cheriton Fitzpaine, website here!

Unfortunately we won't be able to go this year, but Pete & John are still keen to have a Mudgather if anyone else is willing to host it? It could be programmed for Sunday morning, it worked quite well at that time last year really. They'd need to know within the next week or so in order to sort the program out, if anyone feels they can help out please PM me with your phone number and I'll pass on the offer.

Know you'll all have a Fab time anyway, this is a lovely little festival!
