All good stuff so far. Thanks folks.
We are in the UK and are thinking of staying for 8/10 weeks from Jan 2007. I know it sounds a long way ahead but we have to start saving!
The plan is to offset some of the costs by doing a few gigs to enable us to stay a while.
My wife is the performer and has been a guest at lots of festival in the UK. Me, I just carry the guitar.
