2005 marks the 23rd season of the music festival sponsored by the Southwest Celtic Music Association. This year brought a enormous number of acts
new to the festival. Too many in fact to all catch during the weekend much less 1 day. This year's theme is called "Bluegrass Has Green Roots". A notable percentage of the acts display
a bluegrass influence and bring a refreshing feel this time around.
The previous description and all these wonderful images are brought to you by Frank Hui. Because of his devotion, I have nothing to add. --Robyn Sotherby

 Avril Smith with Brook jamming on her, eh, banjo |
 2 sets of bones at once. Quite the versatile fellow. |
 Some haunting A Capella work by Teada, 1 of the new headliners |
 They are an energetic group who perform in a traditional Irish style |
 The audience responded well to them |
 Something a little more atypical in angle |
 Returning to the fest, the Elders |
 They have a rep for being a raucous & frenetic band |
 They live up to it |
 Keeping that rock pace is the local band Jiggernaut |
