Well I've just got back and unpacked after a hugely enjoyable and totally exhausting weekend at Bradfield. Despite early heavy rain the remaining weather was pretty favourable and the event turned out to be a great success. It was also very nice to put faces to names of some Concertina.net members.

Mark Davies clearly put a great deal of time and energy into organising the event and I would like to give him a big vote of thanks for all of his efforts and hope it hasn't put him off repeating the BTMW next year.

I agree with Peter a very enjoyable event and although I was only there for the day, enjoyed the atmosphere, good company,singing, the playing and the wonderfull venue on one of the peaks in the Peak District.
I was about to say how well organised it was by Mark and certainly everything was provided to perfection,but the events just seem to happen,which is why this weekend works.Thanks for a great day.

Hi All,

I should like to echo the vote of thanks proposed above and extend this to Mark's long suffering better half, Joan.

In addition to the joy of meeting a lot of old friends, the sessions and events were all a great success and provided for me one astounding revelation....... A Banjo can actually be used (just how, I know not) as a musical instrument !!
For that, my thanks to Rob Murch..What a superb player!

Thanks to all who attended and made the event such a success and thanks again Mark & Joan

I look forward in eager anticipation to more next year

Dave
