ALL WELCOME

Everything went very well at the Blitz and the competitors from Bath and Dublin who haven’t been with us before, were very pleased that they’d come. They really enjoyed the competition and its organisation. They loved the dinner and were very impressed by the music and song provided by Peter (guitar and voice), Catherine (harp + voice), Padraic di Fusco (guitar, voice and piano), and Jackie, Patrick, Jim and Martin Ryan (voice).
