To the Tauranga Acoustic Music Club and Katikati Folk Club: thanks for a fantastic day out at the Acoustic Music Festival on February 25. Felt like I was back in a pub in Ireland or Scotland, stomping my foot and slapping my thigh to a reel or losing my heart to a wistful tune, all the while trying to stop myself singing along too loudly even when I didn't know all the words. Please tell me it's on again next year.
To the massive crowds that weren't there: you missed a beautiful venue, amazing music from talented locals and international guests, and a great atmosphere. Thanks for not coming. xx
