WTC Expo, Leeuwarden, The Netherlands5th of October 2008
Celtic Folk Festival with:
The Dubliners, Beggars Row, Scrum, Irish Stew, Rolling Home, Gurbe Douwstra
For the first time there was a Celtic Folk Festival in the WTC Expo in Leeuwarden. Their headliner was a guarantee for many visitors of course. The average age was quite high, but so was the age of the main band of the evening. It was a pity that the seated area of the venue was in the front. So if you had a non seated ticket you stood some 20 meters off the stage. It seems to me that it was a bit boring for the bands as well to see only sitting people.
