MSFC at the National Folk Festival, Canberra

Easter 2008

We all had a great time at the National this year. Performing and sessioning and taking in the sights and sounds and tastes of the festival.

We did have some early mornings - playing at 10am! but we gave it our best as usual.

Here's some highlights:
