Good (free!) festival with an expansive definition of folk music. I roamed the grounds happily on Saturday, then taped the FM broadcast from home on Sunday. Ended up with a lot of partial sets due to all the roaming and FM dropouts, so I've chosen one surviving song from each set, and mixed them together for you. A few crappy photos from Saturday are included.
