Had a lovely weekend at the Folkeast Fair at Glemham Hall last weekend. I missed last years at Somerleyton Hall, which I now regret, but at least I made it to this one. The site is splendid, rolling countryside and majestic trees, there was plenty of excellent music so choosing which stage to go to was often difficult, and the Soapbox stage was worth going to just for the sheer delight of the secret path through the woods, through a magical tunnel into a beautfully decorated tent- especially at night with all the fairy lights. The highlight for me was the Penguin Cafe Orchestra, who I have music by, but to hear a large group of excellent musicians playing live, especially with all of their trademark quirky sound effects (rubber bands and telephone lines included) is something else, so a live album of theirs is definitely onto my wishlist.
