Gig of the decade (so far...)

The Winter Ash Mini Folk Festival at the Chequer Inn on Saturday 2nd January 2010 kick started the new year in fine style. If it had been a turkey it would have exploded because it was over-stuffed with an truck-load of talent for twelve hours (there were nearly 70 performers and 30 acts in all).

A day full of folkie heros, four deserve a special mention in despatches : Two of Driftwood's great friends Avril Cameron and Sue Watson got it together on the day to do the two most beautiful songs. We had the soulful Loose Change and the what can only be described as phenomemal Trevor Moss & Hannah-Lou (and if you dont believe us check out their Allotment Song on their MySpace Site). Finally Steve O Kane and Fiona McBain did their wonderful Make Mine a Miracle by Driftwood request.

Driftwood thoroughly enjoyed themselves and a big thank you for Lin, David and Pat for coming down from the Smoke and Charlie & Vicky from Deal coming to listen to us. Driftwood photos are on our Flickr Site Click here
