Before we go...

We've been going to the folk festival almost every year for the past 9 years, so when we realised that the festival was the week before I set off, we got tickets for the Friday night. With the kids being babysat, it was a chance to enjoy some good music, and we met friends there too. It was a lovely night, and thankfully dry, unlike most festivals so far this year.

Here then are our rather blurred photos of the acts we saw:

• Bruce Cockburn


• Show of Hands


• Steve Earl - really, that is Steve Earl singing Copperhead Road


• The Waterboys
