Saturday dawned with a fuzzy head. It may have been the heat as the sun rose higher in the clear skies but we didn't move much from in front of Stage 1 once we had settled into position at lunchtime.
I put it down to the wonderful music and the proximity of food and drink vendors. Some of us enjoyed them more than others...
While some people wandered back to the campsite for BBQs before setting out for the afternoon, we bought our food on site to save packing (and washing up).
First up - Julie Fowlis: "relaxing and charming"
Tom Russell followed her: "very funny"
Dervish (same as Thursday night)
Teddy Thompson: "OK, can hear that dad taught him to play"
Salsa Celtica (long time personal favourites): "into the groove"
The afternoon tea interval was spent eating and drinking before we settled down for the evening session which was kicked off by Cara Dillon: "better than expected" (I think this review is based on our previously having heard her at Tolpuddle Festival and not being impressed).
Nickell Creek: "rocking in the sun"
Cerys Matthews, formerly of Catatonia: "disappointing, not good"
I evidently enjoyed The Chieftans: "band as old as me and still going strong with skiddly diddly fun"
The evening closed with Los de Abajo, a Mexican skapunk agitpop band: "great dancing set as the crowd thinned out"On the way back to the tents, Bill bought their CD so we sat around finishing off the beer listening to music under the stars.
