another missed clifftop festival... i just started planning for next year! the whole band is planning on making the trek from Oklahoma to West Virginia! cant wait to see all of ya

[surreypasty]

Thanks for the inspiration; this film was responsible for our near spontaneous decision that 'Clifftop had to be done'. We (Russell Hawkes, Paul Bennett & Edward Bennett) recently returned to the UK from what can only be described as the finest old-time experience we have enjoyed to date. We met many friendly folk and got involved in jams, dancing, competition and general camaraderie. To our friends old and new and to the organisers, thanks for making Clifftop a truly fantastic festival!

@TBCSS

Thank you very much.

[Palkooo]

Dose anyone, please, know the last two songs played in this great documentary? I would love to learn them.

[surreypasty]

Awesome and inspirational stuff! I'm hoping to travel from England with friends for our first visit this year. I love the way there are so many young people into old-time in the states, we have so few here. Good to see our very own Mr Banks in this film too!

[brodank]

[bnjrpkr]

[keefersfiddle]

I want time travel right now and get get straight to august

[SexyyAamberr]

i can't wait any longer! Rescue me from my boredom

[CadillacL]

LOVE the dancing. Looks SO fun to.

[PalaKalola]

You'd think with such a FINE documentary that someone would frickin' bother to add some light to the shots. Very bad filming/editing. Nice work otherwise.

[RevScratch]

Palakalola...what are you talking about?

[bnjrpkr]

I went for the first time this year, when I left I was soaked to the bone, but I was a much much better Banjo player by the time I got to Galax Sunday afternoon.

[jgkovac]

Clifftop is the best musical festival in the world. period.

[jimmyglitch]

(Shhhhhhhh...don't tell anybody.)

[jgkovac]

sorry, you're right

[dbfkjmatt]

man, i feel lyk a wannabe and an outsider for loving this music considering i come from wales,uk-but i suppose this musics roots are from celtic music!:)

[ArkRed1]

Unfortunately the Ozark Mountain old time music has been lost in the northwest part of Arkansas. Wish we had an old time music festival like Clifftop, but hardly no one around that area cares about their mountain musical heritage. What a shame.

[brodank]

i care! i am in oklahoma, i would like to see ozark mnt. festival start happening again!!

[Whitelightng]

That would be cool...Make it happen!

[ArkRed1]

What's the name of the tune they are doing at the first of the video?

[TBCSS]

Georgia Railroad. Skillet Lickers tune.

[phoneman4201]

does indiana or tn. have a tent there? Grew up in both states. Because I would love to come join I play the fiddle too

[curtissheets28]

im sure there are tents for those particular states, if not it wouldnt be hard to find people from there......there are people from every state just about........ive met several people from both of those states and im sure theres loads more...and there are thousands of people to become friends with

[dbadagna]

Great documentary! Thanks to West Virginia Public Broadcasting for documenting this wonderful festival, of which the state of West Virginia should be proud. What is with the trumpet and trombone (?) sitting in on the nighttime jam starting at about 24:30? That's very unusual, and cool.

[Whitelightng]

So what is the best airport to come into to get here? Do they have cabins or anyplace but camping? I am in from Reno, NV if I do come at all...

[curtissheets28]

hey buddy, ive worked there for 3 years so i may be of assistance....there are no cabins at the festival...the whole place is a campsite that you can pitch a tent, bring a camper or whatever you please....but if you need a generator to run electricity, you will have to camp away from others.....the best airport to fly to would be beckley, wv...but if you cant get to beckleys airport, charlestons isnt too far either

[Whitelightng]

Thank you Curtis for the time you took on here. This fiddle player is looking at coming out and joining in 2011

[Whitelightng]

I do need to sew my tent gard dangit!

[IFlick]

"Diliverence" really turned me off on this sort of thing. "You got a pretty mouth"

[oldtimejammergroupie]
