Hello Straw Bear. I was one of the banjo players with Tanglefoot, we use to have such a nice time up there, sadly now split up, but I miss it a lot.

Lovely 😊 I had the good fortune to stay on Straw Bear when down for the festival, and also to crew for Sadie through the Marple flight. My very best to all her family. Peter Rowan (Wocko's apprentice 1993)
