Mike Harding at Cambridge Folk Festival - Part 5

Mike Harding|14:11 UK time, Sunday, 3 August 2008

Well the floods subsided, the animals came out two by two and then the sun came out and it was the usual Cambridge sunshine. Everybody cheered up and cheered up even more when Tim O'Brien came onstage. I saw one of the best gigs of my entire life yesterday evening; forty five minutes of musical brilliance. On stage with Tim were Arty McGlynn, one of the finest guitarists on the planet; John McCusker, fresh back from a tour of the planet with Mark Knopfler; and Dermot Byrne, box player with Altan and another world class musician. Tim's set was amazing and hopefully, when he comes on Stage 1 this afternoon, we'll capture some of that brilliance on disc for my Wednesday night show. I'll keep you posted.
