Tonight was totally AWESOME! Dan Walsh never ceases to astound his audiences with his totally unfettered, full-on, mind-blowing playing skills. Astounded we were, but in the most enjoyable way. Dan is a great guitarist and singer who can excite and compel an audience to sing and clap along to his performances, but that’s just for openers. And then……...Watch out, here comes the Banjo! Fully loaded with songs and tunes that will captivate and delight the audience. Can his fingers really move that fast? I don’t know, I can’t see them, it’s just a blur. Astounding, amazing, stupendous, pick any one, they all fit. Dan’s Banjo playing is second to none. If you were there, you know what I mean, if you weren’t, you missed a rare treat.

Our very own Lintel, (John & Carol Hoare), performed brilliantly some great songs and provided us with a fantastic opening set. Brilliant. MC Chris, skilfully guided the evening through expertly negotiated time zones and we all finished in the same room. Thanks also to the Techy-up and Techy-down teams, to Mr John B for the videography and to the wonderful Ashwood Marina staff for looking after us all.
