Subject: RE: Visiting the UK this summer
Everybody, thank you for the information. I may be contacting some of you individually as the time approaches.

Sian, it's very unlikely that my wife and I will get to Sesiwn Fawr Dolgellau, but we certainly intend to go to St. Fagan's. We will likely take some day trips out of Cardiff as well.

Peter, we've been to the Tap and Spile in Whitby. The first time we heard the name we thought it was the Tuppence Pile. It took us more than a day to get used to the accent. As you know, we have also been to the Black Swan and to Trafalgar Bay in York. We shall return some day, if for no other reason than I may record Turpin Hero on my next CD and I want to check out the places mentioned in the song.

Sarah, we know about the festival at the Cecil Sharp House from the listing in Folk London. However, we will be in Cardiff that weekend. We do intend to be at Sharps for the singers' night and party on Tuesday, July 25.

Anne, we said four days. There is no need to laugh!
