There certainly seems to be a wealth of information here. I too will be visiting UK next summer and even this early have found it difficult to get hired at festivals and folk clubs. But my goals for my trip are mainly to meet many of my Mudcat friends, see as much of the country as we can, and share a beer and a song (or 2) along the way.

Best wishes on your trip, Gooberoo. I hope you have at least as much fun as I'm planning on having. See you next August, Yookers.

Mike
