Tom Rose of Navigator Records: "Best of the artists I saw at Cambridge not on Navigator !"
"My favourite set was by Chris Wood who delivered a stunning stage 2 gig on friday, simplicity itself packed with emotion, political history and a his own unique vision in song and banter !
"Heidi Talbot and Mawkin:Causley had very successful showcase gigs and there was so much going on I completely missed some of those I wanted to see.. Sets by the likes of Lisa Knapp, The Chair, Devon Sproule, Ross Ainslie and Jarlath Henderson.. I somehow missed all those and wished I hadn't..
"The hardest gig on paper of the weekend went off in great style as Richard Hawley stepped in at short notice for the much loved John Hiatt and won over many new fans in the process with his lush balladry, self depricating between song chat and nifty rockabilly infused pop songs...
"Thoughtful clever programming throughout, onward to towersey where the line up looks even more mouthwatering !"
