Hi all. I live in Aberdeen. I am not really able to do much for which I am very sorry. I remember the fun Skipjack and I had with the gathering at Barton on Humber many years ago. I only 'know a few folkies as I am not long resident here.

Orkney would be a wonderful place for a gathering. Boat from either: Aberdeen, Gills Bay or Scrabster.Fly by various routes to Kirkwall airport. ( Prices variable but not cheap).

I am on dialysis 3 days a week and have other health problems so helping out is difficult. I often but not regularly play ay Aberdeen folk club and a session in the "Northern Bar" Aberdeen.

If you do manage a gathering, I would hope to be able to get there for some of it.

Best wishes.
