This year's Middlewich Folk and Boat Festival had moved slightly to the fields just outside of the town to mark bigger & better ambitions for this well established event.
It had been, to be honest, a stressful run up to this event with next to no communication about stage set up, let alone a stage manager or sound engineer to liaise over our tech-spec options. As a result, we got our producer-guy and good friend José Manu Arteaga to step into the breech as sound engineer to make good of what we had, I gigged for the 1st time through my "new" Marshal combo, actually rescued, almost unbelievably, from the big skips I live near to - and all was well that ended well, with a lovely warm crowd and enormous help with all the staging and equipment issues from our fellow musicians who all rallied round to help each other.
Thanks to everyone who came along and gave us a good time (thanks too, to the mayfly - see last photo).

| The bridge in our song After the Morrow Moon uses the analogy - "we dance for just one day the free mayfly". Well, this mayfly joined us on stage for the duration of our show. |
