Before Saturday I didn’t really know who RVW was and what he had to do with folk music. I was only going because I wanted to see some of the performers. I ended up learning loads and widening my tastes in music even more. Met new friends (including members of the BYF team, thanks for letting me hang around with you guys) and had a fab time.

(And the tea in the cafe was reasonably priced and tasted nice.)

The music was great and there was even some laughs to be had. The running joke with the microphone springs to mind.

The rendition of bushes and briars was beautiful. And all the performers were fabulous.

The evening concert was the perfect end to a pleasant day of education and entertainment.

I enjoyed myself so much I’m thinking of going to the ’Bert’ one, hopefully I’ll learn some more stuff.
