Really enjoyed the Festival,
Whilst I didn't take part in the Ceilidh, it was gret fun to watch and listen to, Mr Gubbins Bicycle were very entertaining, and patient.
On Saturday, the line up flowed quite seamlessly from one band to the next, with good introductions from Nick.
Highlights of the afternoon for me were, Emma and The Professor and Spiers and Boden, but the whole set for the afternoon was very good.
The evening got off to a fantastic start with AGB (Andy Gutteridge), even sans bass player, they were firing on all cylinders. Closing the entertainment were Last Nights Fun, and they were the biggest highlight for me, the between song banter was funny, though maybe a little long for some people's taste, and the music was great whether original pieces or traditional.
Sunday brought two Morris sides, The Adderbury Village Morris Men and Ancient Men-OUMM... it goes without saying that both were great and hugely entertaing, the weekend wouldn't have been complete without them
It's a real shame that there wasn't a bigger audience, and also that the Theatre didn't relax their 'no photography' rule for the duration of the Folk Festival.
The food in The Chequers pub was excellent and the natives were very friendly
All in all I had a great time!!!
Thanks to all concerned
