I second that! I posted a query to UK Mudcatters asking for suggestions about cheap lodgings or offers of floor space, etc. for my trip next month, and was immediately sent invites both privately and in the thread from a number of people...

now that's hospitality! and all based on the Mudcat community thing and the musician connection and the "help out a fellow traveller" code...we are all blessed to have this great group of friends...here's to meeting some of them in person!
Jacky, it sounds like some of the UK Mudcatters and I will be trying to get together for beer and music related festivities, depending on when my friend and I are in their areas...where is Kent exactly? We will be spending time in and near London, and near Avebury and Salisbury Plain...and hope to make a jaunt to the New Forest area, too...if you will be around perhaps you can join us one night?
