I thought I would revive this thread once more. Tawmmie and I will be arriving in London on August 4, 2005 and returning to Alaska on August 27th. I will be sending inquiries to several festival coordinators and will also be looking for bookings in folk clubs and house concerts. If any of you can help with contacts it would certainly be appreciated.

For those who don't know me, I sing mostly original folk songs with an Alaskan flavor. Ballads, songs of the sea and humorous ditties make up most of my set list. I have a website here.   We hope to see many of the friends we made at Getaways and meet many new friends as we travel around. I will NOT be performing with the Alaska Highlanders Pipe Band on this trip unless we turn up at the same place at the same time.

Since we really don't know much about the U.K., we are seeking help from Mudcatters there to let us know where best to go and what to see. We realize that 3 weeks is not much time to see it all, but we are looking forward to packing in as much as we can. Thank you all in advance, I know my Mudcat buddies will come through for us on this.

I will try to update my schedule as it firms up. I can't wait to get over there and start singing with my friends.

Best wishes,
Mike

PS Tawmmie says I can make all the plans I want as long as she gets to see some castles.
