Credit must go to the team who were setting up on site all week, they must have endured some awful weather. The PA was excellent but then, as usual it was presided over by genial John Ramsey. Memorable musical events; One of the best Witches of Elswick sets I have heared for a while, Colcannon, an Australian band I hadn't seen before but will certainly look out for again, Rolling Stock's 'January Man'first outing and Anna Mudeka's Zimbabwean music, song and dance. There was no burning willow sculpture this year but the Hiroshima Peace Flame was brought and passed on. Mike |

Thanks for having me The kids (young and old) all seemed to enjoy my instrument workshop will post some photos here if I can remember how. Met lots of new faces and some people I have known for ages. Well done Ken for your January Man and to the children performing with Rolling Stock especially since you battled on against and early starting African drumming set |
