I'm doing my bit Scooby.

Last year (2006) I managed 6 in Britain. "Straw Bear", Whitlsey, "Miskin", "Broadstairs", "White Horse", "Towersy" and "Wallingford".
Plus a concertina workshop at Stowmarket, Suffolk.

However, only time for 3 in Sweden, where, I as one of the English folk roots that have spread to Scandinavia now live.
"Åmål Blues". "Uddelvalla" -Eddie Reader was there - and "Lydkjöping".(Which is mostly dance).

This year, I've been poorly and broke, so have had to cancel most. or had them cancelled on me. 5 so far, but it's early yet.

A local ""Ukelele" festival. Managed the, "Mudcat Euro Gather" in Kiel, Germany. "Skagen, Denmark. Our own local "Musicians Gathering" and Uddevalla again.

Be over in England for, "Melodeons at Witney" workshop in November.
