I'll be there with Brenda and hopefully there will be lots of singarounds and sessions to enjoy as well as the concerts. I'm running one of the guitar workshops on sat pm, so that I'll have the opportunity to socialise and meet 'Catters here and there, before, during and after!

The Birthday Girls are planning a day trip on Saturday (yes, I know I said this about Alcester and didn't make it, but this time Helen's expecting me to pick her up on Saturday).

And yes, there's a lot happening on site, but there's also a bus to take you round to the other venues in the town.

2 years ago we found a very nice lunchtime singaround on the Saturday run by Dave and Anni (with various MBS in attendance, including Chris Gorniak and Steve Thomason) and I can remember where the pub was but not what it was called....

Just got back from a VERY hot Warwick which was excellent as usual. The return of Loose Chippings as a finishing act was a special treat.

Thanks to all the Mudcats who bothered to sign in. We ended up with 36 names on the sheet, which is a reasonable gathering in anyones eyes, and we know of several others who were there but didn't bother.....

We also talked about Mudcat to quite a lot of people who may well soon become members - and so the 'Cat grows.

Watch out for us at other festivals, Saltburn is next and then the second half of Whitby (can't afford the whole week).

To those of you who ordered badges : yes you will get them (eventually!!)

This is Fionn's daughter Sorcha writing. It was absolutely brill! I really liked the swimming pool, and so did my friends, Tom and Catherine, and their friends. Also I made friends with Kat (Firecat) not forgetting her cats Penny and Wibble.

The weather was really HOT but that was great! I liked Loose Chippings and Keith Donnelly best, and they did a really cool finale. Also the band that started the finale off were really good, especially the Irish dancer who came on when they were playing. I really liked her.

I'm glad Firecat persuaded my dad (FIONN) to let us stay right to the end. Then I fell asleep and thought the ride home was about 15 minutes but it was really about 2 hours.

See you all again I hope. In the meantime I'm going back to Ireland in about two weeks where I live mostly. Love SORCHA (age 10).

Hi Sorcha, Tom and Catherine's mum here! It was lovely to meet you and your dad (at long last); only sorry I didn't have more time to chat with you, with all that was going on, musically as well as the craft activities and swimming :0)

We all had a wonderful time; our first time at Warwick, and Tom and Catherine's first BIG festival. Tom was in great demand at the ceili (not least from Sorcha...) and Catherine had such a good time she wants me to take her to Hull(!) Festival so she can meet up again with new found friends.

VERY hot, sunny and dry: Mrs Lemon's Lemonade stall did a roaring trade (good to see you again Sally), Shellbacks' performances were received very well, new contacts and new friendships made.

All in all, one of the best festivals I've ever been to. Thanks to all who made it so :0)

I meant to chip in after Sorcha's contribution in my name, but I was forced off air by a spectacular storm that had been brewing all evening and during which it would have been folly to leave the modem plugged into the PSTN.Anyway I was happy to wile away a bottle of wine watching the celestial fireworks and re-aclimatising to UK-type temperatures.

Noreen, a huge thanks to Tom, whose patience was heroic, especially on the dance floor.

The school at which this festival is based seems to boast every facility you could shake a stick at - arts centre, living traditions centre, music centre, endless cricket, rugby, athletics and football fields, all on one perfectly flat level, and just a stone's throw from the town centre. A bit sickening really, speaking as a governor of two comps in the (nearly defunct) Nottinghamshire coalfield. But it makes for a great festival.

I warned you all about the sun screen....

It were grand, lots of good stuff and a well thought out programme. Some cracking female singers especially at the Women in Song on Sunday morning, dispite the early time of 11.00. everyone performed brilliantly. Thought the contrast between the funny Taggart and Wright duo and the serious songs by everyone else worked beautifully giving a rich tapestry of song. Bring them back next year.

Hi you all, Got back late Monday after a cracking time at Warwick. Due to a poorly car, set off on the train and did not get there until 2.15p.m.on Saturday. Set up camp and went off to do my bit on the stewards side. Magician hobbled in at 10.45 after having dismantled wheels yet again to look at the brakes and spent nearly 2 hours in a accident traffic jam. Phew........

Both of us enjoyed the bits that we saw of the festival (time limitation, as we were at a big meeting in Brum on Sunday) and had some good crack with friends old and new. Enjoyed the blistering weather, hats are good! Thanks Dick and company for yet another stonking festival. Watch this space for news for next years festival.

Hi Ned. Apparently it is a West Indian whaling shanty (or schantie if you prefer, Steve!), collected by Roger D Abrahams of the University of Texas. It was used for calling out the reluctant whalermen (the grey goose) to hunt the whale (the fox). I presume that the possibility of whaling might get in the way of a useful morning sunning oneself under a tree! That's all I know! But why were the whalermen reluctant and why is John dead?

who dig his grave?

I'd like to say a big thank you to everyone who bought lemonade.I was exhausted! Now my little ones will be fed and be warm in the winter. We had a great time. My son Joe loved Professor Panic. Daughter Charlotte and her friend Megan loved the clothes stalls and Lucie (fiddler with Kickin' Alice) actually stayed late at Moor and Coast session playing. (Did anyone have the reinforced hot chocolate? Wow!) At last she's found other musicians of her age (19) to jam with. Are there any more out there?

We've just come back from the welsh coast (Tywyn) having got wet in the rain many times!! What amazing weather we have in this country.

Anyone going to Stroud in September?
