National Folk Festival Canberra 2008
I have returned from the National Folk Festival here in Canberra with a notebook full of tune names and a camera full of images. Great session, great concerts and a fabulous meeting of old friends – some of whom I hadn’t seen in twenty years!
Highlights were:
- the Vin Garbutt, Genticorum and Trouble in the Kitchen concerts;
- getting up close and personal with a nyckelharpa
- playing sessions with Bob McInnes and Scott and Louisa Wise and Chris Duncan
- my Full Circle concert at the Merry Muse (maybe they’ll hire us next time?)
- playing a Dave Guscott violin – and buying Octave Violin strings
- the positive reactions I got to my pochette fiddle; and
- playing music with such wonderful people and meeting old friends
You can read the full write-up on my other blog – Fourstrings
Cheers
