I loved them all...but Faun and Delhi 2 Dublin were the peak for me!

  • I'd have to say Delhi 2 Dublin was my favorite, although Faun is such a close second as to an indiscernable difference in degree. Gaia Consort (or their new name) was great as always and I was bummed it was too hot to dance to them during their first performance. (and thank you Sue, for the blueberry pancakes) I managed to dance to a lot of their second time. And I finally managed to hear Tricky Pixie properly this year, I've always been off wandering during their performances in past years and this year it was fun to give them more of my attention. And it was fun to recognize almost all the Woodland songs this year! Louisa Krall... I'm sorry, I don't remember her name properly, sang hauntingly beautiful songs. I also got a kick out of watching her rock out dancing to Faun just like us ordinary fae. (Although really, there are NO ordinary fae, silly me.)
  • I didn't think I'd be able to dance at all, what with the heat and the lack of sleep and all the running around we did getting the camping organized.

    But Lyra and I went down to the river right before Delhi 2 Dublin, cooled ourselves down, and came back in our soaked-to-the-skin pants and underwears. THAT gave us just enough cooling power to dance through the first half of that amazing set...

    Bring 'em back for Winter Celebration! I'm looking forward to dancing through their full set next time! :)
    • FYI back in March when all this started for me I was sitting in a Borders bookstore wasting time reading magazines when I came across a Faerie magazine with an ad for FAERIEWORLDS featuring FAUN.
      Up to this point I had been saving money to go to Europe (mostly just to go, but...). While there I intended to See Faun in concert some how.
      So when I realised I could see them without having to go all the way across the world I was extatic.
      I had never been to a festival like Faerieworlds before. I am very glad I went.

      So in the end the short answer is that I would have gone all the way to Europe to see Faun.

      • D2D ROCKED!! I got to talk to the lead singer at Hawks booth later and he was stoked when I told him I loved them just as much as my 17 yr old daughter...they rock across the generations!

        Faun. Nuff said.

        Beats antique...oh I loved watching Zoe dance...she is a true inspiration for bellydance!

        And of course our beloved Woodland. Who else?

        We REALLY REALLY REALLY missed Kan'nal this year (but of course that isnt in the festivals hands) and we so hope theyre performing again soon and Trillian Green...what happened to them? Another favorite missed.
  • Hi Emilio, Yes we were not able to get across there this year, but we thought we should tell you about Wendy Rule. Heard of her? We saw her first at Spoutwood, then she was at Wisteria Summer Solstice, which rocked! Wendy is an Australian with many original pagan and Faerie songs. Apparently quite popular down under.
    Jeff McBride did his Alchemical, three night ritual fire thing at Wisteria. We would LOVE to see Woodland play there. We talked to Todd Alan about you and he wants to hear more.
    We've had a great Summer, but we miss you all. Sounds like an amazing time was had there too. We'll have to pick up more Oregon wood.
    See you soon, Beth and Zeeb
  • My absolute favourite moment of the festival was during Faun, but it is like choosing between different flavours of chocolate, they are ALL AMAZING! Delhi to Dublin was incredible, and the Sunday Woodland performance was also a highlight.

    As for the future, well, I realise I am dreaming but if I EVER get to see Loreena perform at FW's I will probably faint. Emilie Autumn and Abney Park also come strongly to mind, as well as Faith and the Muse and Mors Syphilitica. Oooh, and AfroCelt Sound System.
