| This group of revellers showed us you’re never too old to party. These OAP’s (aged from 67 to 71!!!) treated us all to several professional sets of swing dancing. |

I am so tired from last night and suffering a little from my bad shoulder, so it’s a mainly visual post today. Enough to say I thoroughly enjoyed the first night of the festival and cannot wait to see and do more over the weekend. With most events being free (The Music Palace charged us £4 each which was the only entrance fee we paid last night), this is truly recession busting fun.
