Previous gatherings have been great, so have equally high expectations of this one. It doesn't come around every year, so it's something to look forward to each time. I doubt if booking is open just yet?
Steve, train will take you all the way from Penzance to Aberdeen, but yes, it's a bit looooooonnnnggg!

Ignore, kenny. I don't know which "guest" that was, but we need these multiple idiotic guests like we need holes in the head. I've always fancied carting my harmonicas to the festival but it's so far from Cornwall, and my ears are failing me anyway. You have a great lineup there and I wish you well!

Attendance is not compulsory. Constructive criticism is always welcome.
