I played on the Orchard stage this year ...in the cider tent... needless to say, I had to test one of the Pear ciders and have a little dance to some of the wonderful folk bands that played there this year. There was a wealth of local talent and some new acts who were a real highlight.
I played a very folkie set, drawing from my roots and loving the feel of the grass between my toes as I sang some of my new material written for FAWM 2012. It went down beautifully.
A huge thank you to all the organisers of HFF who work so hard to continue their good work and to put such a great event on my doorstep here in Yeovil every year.
