Leila, Congratulations on your fab weekend. Saw some Facebook comments and saw the bit on TV last night, shame they didn't put you on screen, we all know what Mr E looks like, and he loves festivals... but YOU ORGANISED this one and should have been seen too. Sorry I didn't get a leave pass for the weekend. What date have you set for next year??
(Hissy!)Hazel xx

Wow..

I totally am lost for words now.. and also lost my voice! Thank you for your such kind words Dunc.. they really mean alot!.. they really do!!!!

I knew last year was going to take some beating.. but to my amazement.. it was even better.. I really didnt think it was going to be possible! :-)

Fab people happy from start to finish, top notch beers, all my favourite artists, a buzzing campsite full of flags blowing in the slight breeze against the blue skies, face painted children loving being part of the festival.. all these things have made me the happiest girl on the Wolds!

Not to mention the top quality acts one after the other.. the Bad Shepherds kick started the festival and set the barn rocking! and The Duncan McFarlane Band closed the festival and blew the roof right off... it really was one of those gigs! it cannot be put into words!

See you next Year!

Ps.. a day nicely finished off with tickets for next year selling non stop today!

Adrian Edmondson, (Vocals, mandolin), probably better known as a comedian in The Young Ones, Bottom and The Comic Strip Presents is joined by pipe virtuoso Troy Donockley and fiddler Andy Dinan. Starting out in 2008 they took the festival scene by storm in 2009 with their own brand of Folk/Punk, culminating in their being nominated for "Best Live Act" in the BBC 2 Awards.

Katriona Gilmore & Jamie Roberts
Kat (ex Tiny Tin Lady, still with Rosie Doonan Band and GMO) and Jamie (also in Kerfuffle) need very little introduction after their appearance here at last year's festival. This hard working couple released their album "Shadows and Half Light" to rave reviews, and "wow" audiences wherever they appear. Don't be surprised to see Kat in one of her other musical guises during the festival.

The Duncan McFarlane Band

Anna Shannon
Scarborough born Anna was born into a richly musical family with her grandfather being a concert pianist and her mother a jazz singer. It is then no surprise then that she became a multi-instrumentalist. To quote Vin Garbutt " Twice in the last few months I have had the honour of sharing the stage with Anna Shannon. She's a truly fine multi-instrumentalist, a great singer and as far as I am concerned, a major song writing talent. The clubs and festivals are yearning for what she has to offer"
