It's a new festival, so it needs the support of everybody to make it a success. Any other Mudcatter's going? |

06 Aug 10 - 11:33 AM (#2959474) Subject: RE: Melrose Folk Festival From: IanA I can also vouch for the concert at the Wynd - both Bob and Suzie Kelly were excellent and the audience was most appreciative. Unfortunately, I couldn't get to anything else as we had just taken delivery of a very small, very widdly, very anxious puppy. My wife went to the big concert at the Corn Exchange featuring Archie Fisher and thoroughly enjoyed that. Rolling Hills Festival 2 will be 29th-31st July, 2011. Ian |
