In the UK we have 'MudGathers' at several Folk Festivals each year which are allocated a time and a venue and programmed in as part of the Festival. I host some of them and they are an excellent way of hooking up with MudCatters from around the UK and also Worldwide. And eating chocolate, but that's another story *grin* Several years ago our Beloved Max came over to the UK and I helped to organise a whirlwind tour for him. While he was here he met up with what must have felt like zillions of MudCatters. His feet barely touched the ground on Max's Grand Escapade! I'm not sure he's ever forgiven me.... The FSGW Getaway is a fabulous event and you would meet many MudCatters there, with occasional visits from UK'ers. Do try to get there and be prepared to make music all night long! Good luck with your hunt for fine music and friends!
