Here's some advance notice...
The Friends of American Old Time Music and Dance. FOAOTMAD (for short) is a UK based organisation catering to the tastes of like-minded old time music fans, be they musicians, Appalachian cloggers and those who just like to listen.
Our major event of the year is the Gainsborough Old Time Music and Dance Festival. This is currently staged at Castle Hills Community School in Gainsborough, Lincolnshire and the date for 2004 is the weekend of 13th-15th of February. This will be our 10th Anniversary festival and we have an impressive guest list. From America we have Tom, Brad and Alice (Tom Sauber, Brad Leftwich and Alice Gerrard), Debby McClatchy, Dwight Diller and Dave Bing, all highly respected performers both sides of the Atlantic. From Eire we have the Rough Deal String Band and from the UK we have Sara Grey, Kate Lissauer, Sue Torres and the New Deal String Band, featuring society President Tom Paley, all proving we also have the talent closer to home.
