I played last year and I was not on the bill - Bill, excuse the pun
Anyone can play, as long as you don't damage peoples ears..
It can be a bit intimidating when one of the well known musicians play, you feel a little self conscious but everyone has always been welcoming even though I do the occasional duff note.

I dont think I would have the balls to get up and show the world how crap I am. I wish I did though.

It might be a good idea to have a beginners tent, so that us learners can have a go without being too intimidated by experienced players.

I am a beginner and I played last year, it really is very friendly. I think band members really like the rootsy feel of it all.
It was intimidating but I sort of sat down with my guitar and tried to join in. It took a while to get going but I did in the end. Just taking part was a very cool experience.
It would ruin it if it was just professionals playing. Having professionals and beginners playing is part of the magic...
It would be good to get a few of us from the forum to join in this year..
Anyone else up for this?

I would be up for it, the stuff we play would have to be pretty easy and no barre chords.
Suggestions ?

I booked someone for a gig after hearing them round the camp fire last year.

Two years ago my friend took an arm full of instruments, kazoos and all, with us to the bonfire and had a very jolly time. She skipped round like the pied piper with her penny whistle collecting along the way the band Circulus and a one-man band called Pete something, they were all very happy to slum it with those of us who were not on the bill...although I do admit we were a little away from the bonfire circle and so it was considerably less intimidating.
