Our first guest was Marie Little, and what an inspired choice she was! She brought a char-a-banc load of her mates with her, and we had a riotous time! Her unique brand of humour had us splitting our sides laughing, and the next minute a poignant song would fill our eyes with tears!

Dave Jones (of the North West Federation) was our MC for the guest spots and raffles, whilst our own Bernard led the singarounds.

Our second guest of the day was Tony Gibbons, who gave us his usual widely varied selection of songs and tunes both traditional and contemporary. Although some of his jokes were a bit dodgy(!), the music was at its sublime best - Tony is one of our best cittern players, which was very evident from today's offerings.

Bringing the first day to a tumultuous climax we had John Spiers (melodeons) and Jon Boden (fiddle), the award winning duo (Radio 2's 'Horizon')! They set everybody's feet tapping, so it was quite a relief when they finished!

...and on to day two!

Just when we thought it couldn't get any better... Rhiannon, Sue, Noreen, John Routledge, Joan, and Taggart & Wright swelled the ranks of the singers!

Brian Peters and Gordon Tyrrall were our first guests of the day, playing and singing a lively mix of traditional and contemporary tunes and songs. These two are both soloists in their own right, but make a formidable duo!! Gordon's flute and Brian's melodeon complement each other beautifully, as do their guitars and Brian's Anglo concertina.
