Evolve Festival, Weymouth Competition final

What a fun night. Good to see really young people enjoying their music so much. Pity more passes-by didn't breeze to witness the talent.

Glad I wasn't a judge- tough work! And my choice wouldn't match with the chosen winner, but that's because I favour and support folk as a music genre.

I hope to see some them at the Sunray- they would be very well received.

Stikkers

A wonderful night in one of the friendliest gatherings around. A good mix of abilities and a good mix of folk.
So nice to be a part of it. Loads of laffs and loads of fun- the way it should be!

Folk moves in mysterious ways

Some very interesting stuff going around recently. And SadFolk (such a pity the branding is not more attractive, as Folk shouldn't be seen as "sad"!) is now up to date.

Lots of stuff happening...in the run-up to Summer. The line-up at many Festivals is impressive and I do so hope they are all supported well. I see one has already decided to call it a day due to poor pre-sales.

And the down-turn in the economy is bound to have an impact.

Didn't win

The Songwriting competition in Wells has been and gone, and though I didn't win, I had a very interesting time, meeting some good friends and making some new ones. And we all witnessed a broad mix of styles.
And a supporter of the Sunray Folk Club was "runner up"- Nicola Clark.
