·       For the third appearance at this venue The Dufflebags devised a “two-sides to the band” strategy, where the first set featured acoustic songs with Sean on an acoustic and then kicking up a gear or two for set 2, which was a hyper-charged electric set.

·       In set 1 The Dufflebags invited some guests to play. Peter & Maggie Cornelius (of The Cornelius Family) joined their son Martyn and the band on some songs and Alan Howlett plays Melodeon and violin on two tracks. Alan also performs in many other folk groups including the aforementioned, Cornelius Family and the Old Porch Band.

·       The packed out pub got three bands for the (free) price of one when popular local band, Dirty Money performed, in the Interval and Sean Davies and Joe Cook’s other band, Notch, performed a few songs at the end of the evening, following The Dufflebags.
