of our most loyal fans
Steve Laws, Chloe Dewe Mathews 
Hannah Trolley and Lovely Hazel and behind them 
1000 of the assembled sun drenched beer sozzled 
but listening oh so intently to every
word Essexers, those salts of the earth 
who so splendidly
did listen to our set on Sunday ...


 and afterwards buying enough t-shirts and cds to
pay for chips and mushy peas all round
and Biscuit's petrol home....

so...we had a lovely time at Leigh Folk Festival..
highlights being The Famous Potatoes, 
who brought tears to the eyes and blistres to the feet, a captivating combination, 
and the lovely French folk dancers who skipped so slowly 
and a lovely girl called Kathryn in the Folk Club 
secret garden space on saturday who sang Ruby Tuesday all wistful like....
