Suegorgeous you haven't hear of us before because this is our first year. John (hubby) has had to give up his job as cattle foot-trimmer (what's that, I hear you cry)so we have decided to make our hobby our job - hence Gleanings. As you saw, we not only run folk music courses but art and rural crafts as well. As time goes on we will spread our wings more. Thank you for suggesting Folk and Roots, but it's strange that after posting my message last night I went on to Folk and Roots and filled in all the details. Took hours but they came straight back and said that details would be on this weekend, together with the concerts that either start or follow the course. Not sure what kind of course Norma Waterson and Martin Carthy will do yet - I just hope that they can fit it in as it is only provisionlly booked at the moment. I think that whatever they did would be fantastic though! Perhaps you could add Gleanings to your list of courses, that would be great.
A message for Viginia Tam - thank you for pointing out about term time, as my children are all grown up term time has sort of disappeared into my distant memory. What dates are they. I think Mary Humphreys & Anahata are at Easter holidays and Cloudstreet in Summer hols. What sort of course would interest you, or anyone reading this, as we want to run courses that everyone wants. Let us know. www.gleanings.co.uk
