The last blog covered a couple of days (Saturday and Sunday) of ‘physical’ activities at the Festival. On the Saturday night back in Tenterfield our little group of six enjoyed dinner at the Royal Tenterfield Hotel after a long day at the Street Parade and later the Standing Stones venue.

The Royal has a long history stretching back into the 1800s and has recently undergone a renovation, whilst retaining its old world charm.

The kitchen does the usual pub favourites but with a modern twist and presentation. A few of us had Bangers and Mash, others Lamb Shanks and Chicken Parmie.

All very tasty. If ever in Tenterfield you can’t go wrong tucking in here!

The other four were heading home in the morning (Sunday) after a latish breakfast at a local cafe. We were heading off back to Glen Innes for the last day of the festival and then stay on there for a couple of days to recover!

All of us had spent some time listening to the Festival music on the Saturday and we (R and L) did so again on the Sunday. No videos this time, running out of storage space for them on the blog.

It was quite a wide variety of performances, frequently with Celtic dancing thrown in. Some traditional stuff, some traditional stuff with modern performance twist and some just edgy stuff.

Mostly Scottish but some couldn’t resist throwing in Irish ballads as well.

The Shamrocks, a very ‘green’ group, managed to fit in a John Denver classic ‘Country Roads’ for variety.

It was a great weekend with friends and Festival activity. We are now staying in Glen Innes for a couple of days to check out the local area. Including a visit to the Standing Stones,without all the Festival goings on, to have a look at them in a little more detail.
