Cambridge Folk Festival Day 2 continued

There wasn't much chance to post any more over the weekend, given the access problems for the free internet - too many teenagers and too little time - so I'm doing a series of posts now I've got home and downloaded the photos. My "reviews" are based on the notes I scrawled in my programme after each set - the writing is clearer earlier in the evenings (I blame the bar staff for selling me Badger brewery beer in 4 pint containers and Pimms in large jugs with lots of ice, but not the nice woman on the spicy hot cider stall who served me warm alcohol to keep away the chill after the sun had gone down).

Friday was our second day at the festival and we settled down by stage 1 for the start of the evening.

First up were the Broken Family Band - "lively set - joined by Eddi Reader"They were followed by Marcia Ball - "damned good rocking RnB set"Richard Thompson closed stage 1 for us - "great, super, with Christine Collister"We then staggered over to stage 2 to watch Dervish play closing set of the night - "lively skiddly diddly" which saw Sonia and Mel dancing jigs under the trees.The evening finished with a hot drink from the Internet cafe and a chat round the gaz lanterns before we collapsed into our sleeping bags.
