They're also very good musicians though. They take a while to warm up but once they get going it turns into a riot!

Very pleasant it was too. You were right Bobbi, "The New Forest Plonkers" were great -very "Wurzels" ish. Nice atmosphere. Felt like a show for the local community with everyone just there to enjoy the day rather than as a commercial, "let's make lots of money from the punters" sort of show. Nice.
