Dancers enjoying the ceilidh at Shrewsbury Folk Festival. Catching up with photos from the long bank holiday weekend.
Not much sleep after the late night and after waking up to go to the loo, went for a shower.
Dave did a halloumi fry-up outside the tent on our little camping stove before the rain started again. It rained through the day from light rain to a big thunderstorm during the afternoon session and a massive downpour in the evening where we had to rescue our belongings from rain seeping into the dance marquee.
First off, went to Pengwern to get a good spot for Adriano Adewale's Rooted and Rising - a great collaboration between folk musicians from different cultures.
Dave went on to Tuneworks and I browsed the craft stalls. Bought a red wool scarf for mum and a fragrance diffuser. Funnily Dave bought the same fragrance when he went round the stalls later.
Wanted to get some sleep but was lured into another good food tent session. Food later with Dave who arrived late so there were a lot of queues - went for a halloumi gyros in a box as the stall was quieter than some.
Dance tent after for Blowzabella - excellent with lots of classic tunes and dances. And the Brown Boots Boogie Band ceilidh - also good but legs weren't great so only watched.
Went on to the Berwick with Anna - she left early and the cool kids snuck off to smaller sessions. The session got more promising as the night wore on, but was too tired to stay later than about 2. The night felt very cold as I returned to the tent to put my thermals on.
