Today's high points were the steel drum-laced Hindou track from El Guincho, and a couple of surprise quiet songs from Emma Tricca (who is she??) and Good Old War. The low points were not worth mentioning, save to say that folk music is like a brambly forest, at first you are having a lovely walk through, and suddenly you are entangled in a scratchy, prickly, unpleasant and high-pitched whinging sort of bush from which there is no escape, until the stupid song finishes and you can put on another.
