This year's Hardraw Gathering takes place on Fri- Sun, 25-27th July 08 Due to extensive renovation to the premises and surround that has taken place this past year, the event has scaled down a tad - booking fewer 'acts' for the concert room, for example/ As ever, it will be primarily a 'participants festival'... There'll be various rooms dedicated to singers, as well as musicians, sessions - a real come-all-ye - and lots of hand-pulled ale! Workshops (for guitar, songwriting, and more!)... Dancing on show from Kitchen Taps and Flash Company- the weather-permitting bandstand concerts in the grounds leading to Hardraw Force waterfall... ...all for free! Camping available on the 'improved' site... Rooms at the inn still available for booking (at time of typing!) A 'commercial' Campsite right next door... Concerts on in the Green Gragon's main 'hall' Fri and Sat night (a small charge for entry? - mebbe, mebbe not, this year!) Various artists in those concerts - and elsewhere throughout the premises all w/e.... See here.... Hardraw Gathering 08 Hall Bros, Waterland, Brother Crow, Gerry McNeice and the Duncan McFarlane Band (both electric and acoustic!) and more! The sessions have traditionally gone on in the bar rooms till almost dawn Fri & Sat!! All welcome - see you there! Cheers!
