I was lucky enough to attend the British Open on Saturday and thought it 
was a wonderful day. I managed to see 20 of the 22 bands and from Black 
Dyke's ( I thought ) terrific start and ovation, band after band 
deservedly bought the house down.

I'm not a musician so can only judge by what I liked but I did think 
Faireys had won. I was strangely moved however by Tredegar's performance 
but at the time thought I must just be getting into the music.

I am ashamed to say that by the time Marple performed, thinking it was 
all over , I hardly paid them any attention but spent the time 
considering the previous performances. I even thought the extended 
applause was more in appreciation of the whole event rather than that 
particular performance.

My only problem with the venue was the shortage of food outlets, I gave 
up on the queue for bacon rolls , found another bar where I couldn't 
even get a biscuit with my coffee and having missed two bands starved 
for the rest of the day.

Has anyone got the full results ? . I liked Brighouse - but then what do 
I know.

Good wishes to all, Roll on October
