Hi, Yes a mate I play in a band with is running the busking stage. It has been moist. Mind you I was on a beach in Cornwall last few days and there has been considerable moistness and thundery flashy stuff! |

Some of them never returned after spending hours shivering in their tents sheltering from the rain whilst I watched a blistering RT set on my own. |

Worst weather has been mid to late evening and early Saturday morning. Fortunately a lot of the undercard has been excellent. Blair, Alex Hart, Gary Stewart, Isambards Wheel,Nati, I was thinking why isn't Nati huge and then found she has 2 million followers! Weather is glorious now, looking forward to Martin Stephenson, Virginia and Blackbeard's Tea Party.

Magnificent festival. Fantastic line up. Great performances from most and what a finish from the sparkling Blackbeard's Tea Party.
The organisation of this superbly set event in the walled garden of a very rural minor stately home is second to none.
More of you should come , it will reinvigorate your love of festivals.

My friend Bob,( Whale) who has run the busking stage , has just eulogised on how good this fest was. He has put some great pics up on f book. It is firmly in my diary for next yr. |

I agree, it's my 5th Beardy this year and I love it ... despite the biblical weather! |
