Saturday was a trifle wet to start with and I didn't make an early start by any means. Copious amounts of real ale supped whilst listening to the jam session in the bar meant that I went to bed with the dawn chorus ringing in my ears...
Martin Simpson followed with his sublime folk/blues and slide guitar. Truly a master musician, (there were times when I thought "how does he do that?!") A friend of mine, Darth, summed him up succinctly... "fu**ing good."
Inside in the barn there was also folk music with the delightful The Kittiwakes followed by Oka Vanga. There was then, as it said in the festival notes a beer break. Well who am I to disagree with advice like that?
Another long night followed for me as I took in the jam session in the bar before we were turned out at around 4a.m. off to bed as the birds were waking up again.
