Comment: A very big thank you to everyone who attended this year's
festival. It was a hugely successful year for us, an awful lot of fun to
organise and we appreciate you coming out in your thousands to support it.
We look forward to seeing you all next year. Festival dates are 24 - 28
September 2008.
We would also like to thank all the festival staff, stewards, volunteers
and crew who, as always, went well above and beyond the call of duty.
Thanks so much festival critters, you did us proud.

Comment: Spent Sat Avo in the Chillifest. Was a bit underwhelmed when
i got there but soon nad a nosy round and a few pints n Gumbo then relaxed
into the pineleaf boys. Well ran, queus at a minimum and a few jars
across the road afterwaord made it a great day out :)
Only gripe was teh chilli eating competition should have been onstage as
no one could see the action!

Comment: It's now 4 days after the Old Crow Medicine Show gig in the
CHS marquee and I'm still in a state of amazment! What a night - surely
one of the best concerts ever to grace this city. Don't know how you pull
all these amazing musicians together from all over the world but as a
'born-an-bred' citizen of Belfast I am indebted to you. Keep up the good
work - ROLL ON NEXT YEAR!

Comment: Thanks for an incredibly good weekend. Came up from Dublin,
not really knowing what to expect and had a ball. Highlights for me were -
Old Crow Medicine Show (especially when the generator died and they
continued to sing), The Chilli fest, Sunday Afternoon with Tim O' Brien
and friends and At First Light( spine tinglingly good!!)

Comment: Another great festival it's staggering that it somehow
manages to get better year on year despite the scope for improvement being
almost non existent. An amazing schedule of artists and events in some of
Belfast's finest venues - genius. Didn't spend a great deal of time in the
marquee but that Texan chilli was outstanding, just what the hangover
doctor ordered. Highlight of the weekend for me was the Mountain Fireworks
Co. at the John Hewitt not the madness and showmanship of Steve or the
Agnostics but a great sound and perfect for early Sunday afternoon with a
few pints of Guinness. Thanks again for a fantastic weekend.

Comment: Fantastic festival. Soooo much to choose from. Thank which
ever god is out there that we booked on your great website early enough to
get tickets for all the artist we wanted to see in this years lineup.
Outstanding so far...best yet to come Seasick Steve AND the Agnostics in
one night..Awesome.. Can't wait!! Congrats on yet another excellent
festival to all those organising the event. You do Belfast proud. Only one
grumble...I was skint after 3 pints in the marquee... gourmet does not
have to me extortion! Get the gourmet beer from Bernard and Seamus at
Whitewater and Hilden, Irish beer, tastes fantastic, no overdraft needed!!

Comment: Stumbled on this festival this week tracking The Old Crows movements in the autumn. Already booked four days worth of gigs and looking forward to it. Funnily enough was at an Old time festival Bristol, Tennessee in September last year (and saw Foghorn Stringband busking in the street!) Couldn't afford to go back again this year but a music trip to my favourite city more than makes up for it!

for a couple of years, can't wait. Great line up, but we'll miss the
Foghorns this year (Tim O'Brien makes up!)
