[...] Last night we finally got to scratch a 20-month itch, seeing Cherish the Ladies again in concert. They performed a Christmas show at Towne Crier Cafe, the place where we first saw them in April 2008, covered in detail in this post. [...]

Thanks for both heads ups Alan. We're already planning on seeing Cherish The Ladies in late March at the Barns at Wolftrap, so this could be a treat we can experience sooner than that!

I just came across a notice that Cherish the Ladies is playing at Riverspace in Nyack, NY on Saturday December 20, 2008. I thought you might be interested. FYI, Jerry Douglas was interviewed on WFUV.org on Sunday October 26 by John Platt. You can hear it in the archives.

Great photo, thanks! As my friend told me about Winnipeg, people frown upon using any type of “chair”, unless you sit way in the back, as most people are at ground level. I guess it all depends on the particular venue…

The book looks really cool!

Well, as far as creature comforts go, most of the festivals I've been
to recently allow motorhomes (or 'motorcaravans' as they are called
over here. In addition, if you plan ahead one can usually find
accommodation near a festival in hotels or B&Bs.

As for sitting on blankets, again, the festivals I've been to
recently don't mind people using folding chairs, however, when it
gets dark and the bands get a little louder, people become more
lubricated it usually ends up being a standing affair.

Here is an example crowd shot that shows how this works, as you'll
see people also use the small "lean to" fisherman's shelters for sun/

As for being a 'music hound' here is a link to a book my Dad was
involved (as an editor) which is a great resource for learning about
folk music:

I haven’t been to anything like that since I’m too young to recall. That said, I am personally interested (when our work lives slow down) in doing a bluegrass, roots and/or folk festival. A buddy of mine wants us to join his family at the Winnipeg folk festival.

The only problem (for us) is the thought of “roughing it” outdoors for days on end, even including sitting on a blanket for 12 hours a day. It’s not that I’m spoiled, but just that my body doesn’t work the way it used to.

Excellent. A little early for us to be sure whether we can be down there for the show, but we’re pointing toward it nonetheless.

Hadar, as you know I've only been reading the blog for a month or so and I enjoy it very much. I had no idea you were such a music hound! What are your thoughts on multi-day festivals, such as Kerrville or one of the UK folk festivals such as Cambridge or Sidmouth? I'm seriously considering Sidmouth this year, it would be great to see some shows together!
