Well, there's another one gone, and it's time for a little rest. But we're already preparing for our tenth anniversary Festival, which will take place on the 11th to 13th June next year.

I'll post some Festival highlights over the next little while, but for now I'd just like to thank the venues which hosted the events, the artistes who performed for us, the workshop tutors, Dalkeith Guitar Club for running the open mic session, Loanhead Gala Day Association (and Kevin Holmes) for the use of their PA system, Midlothian Council for the campsite, but most of all, all the musicians who turned up and made it our busiest and best Festival so far.

The Recycled Instrument competition was won by Ian Rogers and daughter Rebecca, with the "Snack Drawer Twanger".     Ian is seen here with judge Robin Harper MSP.
