My idea of heaven is a place where the Tyne meets the Delta, where folk music meets the blues.
Mark and I have been away at a folk festival in the wonderful town of Shrewsbury in Shropshire. It runs for four days finishing on Bank Holiday Monday the last public holiday before Christmas. People congregate from all over the country and from out of the country as well, to celebrate dance and music from all over the world.

Such a mixture of emotions. I hope to write more when the photos are downloaded and thoughts are consolidated. But I came away with my head full of wonderful music and memories of happy, smiling faces, of weird and wonderful costumes of groups of friends meeting up, swapping tips and stories.
Lovely image, nice editing.

I love the image of the accordion sitting there by itself. Looks like it is waiting for it’s master to return. So fun to have your mind full of memories like that.

Following you on IG and FB, I could tell you had a wonderful time. Oh, Viv! That concertina really brings back long ago memories. My grandfather had one and used to play it for us. I’d forgotten all about that! What a nice reminder. Thank you! 😀
