I admit I have never been to a folk event. This was a lovely event, relaxed with great people. We were invited by one of the bands who were playing on Sunday night, Smoke and Mirrors. This band donated their fee to a charity and one of the singers Sara had nominated the air ambulance. Myself, Kate and David, two of the Island volunteers, attended on Sunday during the day and listened to some fantastic music. I then returned later for the evening performance from the band. Becky, who plays the fiddle and other stringed instruments for the band, had also managed to organise a raffle with an acoustic guitar, donated by Strings on the Isle of Wight, along with a dinner for two at the New Homewood Hotel in Cowes. So I set myself outside (what a wonderful evening) and started to sell the tickets. I was so surprised by the crowd which kept coming up, with help from the band. We raised £242 from the raffle, the band donate £250 plus we had some money in our donation buckets. Thank you to all who attend and well done to the organisers for a great event.
