Brilliant Shrewsbury Folk Fest

Shrewsbury is one of the bigger folk festivals, and despite being warned to get their early, by the time I turned up at about 2 the camping fields were packed. Weather was great for most of the weekend, and everyone so friendly.

Caught the free bus in to town and went to the museum. It is a lovely town, needs another visit.

Levellers were great, and also Rosanne Cash, Lady Maisery, Boondock Hippy, Barnstar! and Blackie and the Rodeo Stars. However the Treacherous Orchestra were RIDICULOUSLY loud and to be avoided.



The dance session called They Shall Not Pass was excellent - Indian, African and flamenco with Grace Petrie's song and a bit of poetry. See You Tube:
