Maiden City Festival Weblog

It’s slow uploading with the rural broadband not coping well. Heading for Belfast and cable service. For now one of the best lunchtime Culture Bites, Skruff at the Cafe Nervosa. Arrived for the last half hour or so and persuaded the guys to do a special performance of one of their own compositions on the Walls. Here it is. Skruff and All of the Rest.

Although the last full day of the Festival, there is such a backlog of uploads and pictures to be published that the Festival will continue on line for a few weeks yet. We have also been recording some of the events through the week and will be creating a few small micro-websites as resource to complement the Festival and set down the foundation for work in future years.

Yesterday was a Dylan sort of day to start, by song or style. Siobhan Skates and Dolbro Dan seemed to be along the same musical road for a short time.

It would be hard to say what was the best music off today’s Culture Bite menu, but there’s an outstanding original composition performed by Skruff that will be uploaded over the weekend and is well worth waiting for.
