    Anyone else there?
    I was at the two days and it was the most amazing festival. Arrived to see Nancy Griffith on Friday and she was superb. EmmyLou Harris was laid back. Jackson Browne was also laid back but was a treat for his many fans. Kenny Rogers was brilliant and sang all of his old hits - a great stage performer.
    Saturday, we got there in time for most of Don McClean's concert. He gave a great rendition of The Mountains of Mourne and wowed the crowd with Vincent before finishing off with Ameruican Pie. This was followed by Glen Campbell who turned out to be almost the highlight of then festival. He played like he was headlining it. All the hits were there and he was joind on stage byu his daughter who is a nice singer. Van the Man was his usual surly self but he played many of hi hits including Bright Side of The Road, Moondance, Brown Eyed Girl etc. I had never heard mush Dwight Yoakam before but he is some stage performer. Fantastic band - the real deal.
    The second stage had some great bands, less well known but I heard some great reports about them.

    There was also a very relaxed atmosphere at the event, people brought families and only one or two drunks. Kids were free (2 per adult). Kids activities there too. No hassle. Great food stalls though a little pricey.

    Overall, probably the best concert I've been at and I have been to a lot!
