Border Raid

Last weekend we played at a lovely folk festival called Folk on the Lawn. Its held at Tintern Abbey Mill, just a hundred yards or so past Tintern Abbey and right alongside the River Wye, which is the Welsh/England Border.
So here are a few pics inc a cilt.

The Abbey

Setting up on stage ... the trees in the background are in England .. The River Wye is only 30yds from the back of the stage

Some early birds started to arrive .. the festival is in beautiful surroundings in the valley

Then it started filling up

Then we went on stage .. it was a great gig and we really enjoyed ourselves

Later in the day we went and did an improptu few songs in the bar with Elaine's best friend Les ..

Hope the pics give you a bit of feel for place ..

Derek,
That looks like a cool gig. That abbey is a beautiful ruin. Really idyllic. I would love to go to a small pub like that and listen to real honest to God celtic/folk music. Looks like alot of fun. Thanks for sharing.
Cheers,
KC

KC .. If ever you get over to Wales (or UK) be great to meet up, we can take you to several old pubs where there is some great celtic/folk music still today...

Went to Scotland in 2012. Would love to go back and see more of the island. God willing, I may sooner than later.
