That's fantastic news (and what great guests)!

We were heart broken when the Festival came to an end - our favourite both for programming and location. Will there be the sing arounds etc

Thanks for making my week Vin2!

Am sure (and hope) Mo & Jo will be there to host a sing-a-round. Sat night session after the Civic Hall was always a must. Spread the word folks !
