She also loved it, but kept asking when the ballerinas were going to appear, because they only counted if they were in pretty sparkly dresses.<br /><br />My sister in law plays violin in a folkish band so we've often seen them play. The last time, my daughter was the first person to be up and dancing.

Sounds a fab weekend and the folk concert a great way to introduce little ones to live events.
