Festive

Lots to report, but too little time here in the Folknet cafe, as there are many other things going on. I will update fully when I get home, but there are some highlights.
Yesterday I was very excited to meet Kate Rusby, and get her to sign my copy of her new album, which is only available at the fest until September, when it comes out in shops. She was lovely and cheerful and very tiny. She later played the main stage, which was excellent, as expected.
I've also really enjoyed the Oysterband, and Rachel Unthank & the Winterset, who we have seen twice, once on the main stage and then today in the club tent. Beautiful harmonies. And I had a good dance to the Oysterband.
This morning we went to Martin Simpson's guitar workshop, which was inspiring and brilliant and fun, and later we saw him perform on the main stage, which was also really good.
So it's all fun here. Although, it having dried up and been gorgeous and almost mud-free, it then rained ALL last night, so there was mud again today. And some crazy person woke us up playing a banjo all around the campsite at 6am, which was both irritating and amusing.
Anyway, off to enjoy the last evening. Farewell for now...
