Rumney Folk Festival, Cardiff. In Pictures.

[English Bloke]

Hey all. Sorry it's taken a while to get these up but I've been away for a week or so.

The festival was on Saturday 05 Sep and my wife and I travelled down on Friday afternoon. We set off from Lancashire for the three and a half hour drive which took us closer to five hours. Traffic was terrible.

We were booked into a guest house in Rumney and we met up with Chas there as he had arrived before us. Doublewood Dave had not yet arrived. It was to take him 8 hours to get the 270 miles from North Yorkshire. As I said, typical Friday traffic.

After freshening up at the B&B we took a wander down the road to meet up with Derek and Elaine and Hamish. After introductions and a quick natter in the church hall, Derek invited us back to their beautiful house for a beer before stepping out on the town.

From Derek's we went onto a Pub and eventually after Doublewood arrived onto a curry house for a meal. A couple of people came across to ask if we were Scots down for the Rugby (Edinburgh beat Cardiff 22-21 that day) and they seemed genuinely disappointed when they realised there wasn't a single scottish accent in our group.
