So many other had been cancelled due to poor ticket sales, would Silloth suffer the same fate despite the low ticket price? Obviously not, the tent was at full capacity at times and the crowd was around 30% up on last year. The beers were right and the music was right and the crowds loved it. Busiest was the Friday night when the ABBA group put on a tremendous performance and the whole tent was full and bouncing. The committee will have a job doing even better next year, but they will.

Photos will be available to be viewed on SolwayBuzz. co.uk quite soon.

Can you help! The committee are always looking for more helpers. Pop into Winters and ask Gary if you can help to make this event even better.
