so I thought it time to post a few pics along with a taste of some of the music I enjoyed.
The weather was mixed, with Friday being a lovely sunny day,
Saturday it started out fine but then we had heavy rain and the site soon became a bit of a bog,
but once the rain had finished out came the trusty volunteers with the bales of straw and with a bit of help from children and adults alike the site was soon easy to negotiate once again.
On the Sunday again we had mixed weather sunny most of the time though there was a pretty heavet thunderstorm mid afternoon.
As always with this great festival there was lots of great music to enjoy both and off site. My first set was in the beautiful Southwell Minster where I saw the Mischa Macpherson Trio, winners of this years BBC Radio Two Young Folk Award. Despite Mischa having the remnants of a bad cold a nice set of songs and tunes.
Later back on site it was Marquee 2 for me for most of the rest of the day. First up The Dovetail Trio once again 3 very talented young singers and musicians.
Next up was Caladh Nua (pronounced Coll-ah Noo-Ah) five accomplished musicians ans singers from Ireland. Playing a wide variety of instruments.
Around 3-30 in the afternoon onto the stage came festival favourite Martin Joseph who having not long arrived at the site was soon up and playing. Having recently put together an album of Bruce Springsteen covers, Martin played a full set from the album.
Next it was time for a break and some food, plenty to choose from as always.
I will continue posting another day. Hope you have enjoyed the music so far.
