Hi Cliff, Scott, all,

to answer the question in the subject: NO! ;-)

yepp, I'd also be curious about some reports - remembering that there
was quite some traffic on this (or rather: the predecessor) list a few
years ago, that made me almost feeling as if I'd been at the festival
myself ;-)

I didn't make it this year to Riddu Riddu (www.riddu.com) - but this is
definitly my favorit when it comes to folk-related festivals here in the
North of Europe. Clearly worthwhile the trip to this small valley 100 km
east of Tromsø! I made it twice, by bike, and don't regret it at all ;-)))

Otherwise I'm looking forward to Ranarim's CD release concert next
Wednesday, and finally my first chance to see Fliflet & Hamre from
Norway live two days later - both at www.stallet.st ...

Hälsningar från Stockholm
