DylanFest in Rosatos

Every year I wonder if anyone is going to turn up for the DylanFest in Moville.

And every year they do.

But there’s always a first time.

You can’t just rely on them turning up year after year.

So, I was a little apprehensive as I walked towards Rosatos last night.

However, there was nothing to be worried about.

There was a good crowd there and they mostly stayed all night.

Bigger Than Last Year

The Friday night this year was bigger than the Friday night last year.

Indeed, a good deal bigger it seemed to me.

And most of them were not from he area.

They had turned up for the Dylan festival and they were delighted by what they heard from virtuoso American guitarist Michael Thomas.

He really got the audience going – especially when he did his famed finale.

Everyone I asked said that this performance alone made their coming here worthwhile.

From All Over

There were two girls from Holland there and one from my home town of Greenock.

And the great thing is that Michael Thomas will be on in Rosatos again tonight.

With more locals coming out on a Saturday night it should be a bit special in Rosatos tonight.
