Sadly we don't make the Derby Folk Festival often, but it's always a treat. Great community and a marvellous guest selection (including several friends). Thanks to organisers, volunteers and everyone we met, chatted with and sang with.

Here are my best captures

Here is the latest gig I captured at Wellington Bluegrass Society and sadly, the last I'll see with the late, great Andrew Bicknell at the helm. RIP Andrew and like many others, I hope this musical institution can continue as your legacy.
... and it was a great performance by Raven Mavens
