What an Awesome first ‘Spirit of the Marsh’ cannot wait for ‘Spirit of the Marsh’ 2018 Already.

Hi all. I’d just like to say thank you for having us . The weekend was utterly lovely. Such well adjusted people to be running the various jobs. Music, bar, stalls, camping, Toilets , gate, box office . Everyone was clearly relaxed, interested in and invested in their roles . Intimate and easy going time. Thank you again. Xx. Xx

What a magical weekend ! It was the best yet. Perfect weather but above all perfect people. Everyone there were part of a true pagan family and you could not fail to feel the positive energy that was shared in and around the camp. Thank you to Simon, Neil and Vick for their true beltane spirit in keeping the fire going over the fantastic festival and for all those hard workers behind the scenes who made the whole thing possible. Gary,Sarah, Julie and Addie (sound and stage management) you are all fantastic guys and not to forget to give a mention to Doug for getting us back on the road home with the help from his jump leads for our poorly vauxhall . Also the bands and singers that entertained us into the evening with their uplifting music. The atmosphere of this weekend will be with me for a very long time. We will be all together again for the next Beltane of 2018…you betcha !…..A very blessed Beltane to all. BB.X

Big Thank to organisers of the festival great weekend loved every minute. And thank you for allowing us Whisky Before Breakfast to perform for your enjoyment we had a ball.🙂

I always love performing at this brilliant Gathering. Many thanks to those who put it together, I know there were many who worked very hard, especially Gary and Julie; plus Elric and the Dagda security crew, plus Ade the Sound guy. Also, many thanks to the wonderful people who came out to see me perform and support me by buying my CDs, I really appreciate it! I hope to perform again next year!

Testimonials 2016

We had a great time at Spirit of The Marsh 2016, but don’t just take our word for it.  Here is what people said about the event.

“What can i say about a truly amazing weekend? The atmosphere was wonderful, truly pagan and free. It was a true Beltane awakening to summer camp even though the weather was a “having a laugh” several times. But a big thank you to all the crew who worked hard to help make a great weekend for all of us and to all you guys for just being there. As i saw it no amount of rain could dampen the “Spirit” of the Marsh and all who were there. See you all next year BB xx” – S Wales
