Hi, I'm an American staying long-term in Wales (Radnorshire/Powys) and I'm interested in being a part of your Old Time weekend. I've heard rave reviews from some of the people (such as Bruce Molsky) who have visited Gainsborough in the past.

Is there anyone in this discussion forum heading to Gainsborough from the mid-Wales/Herefordshire area who'd be interested in sharing travel expenses?

I play old time guitar -- have a little Gibson LG-2 along with me --and attend as many OT contests as I can each summer, including Galax,Virginia; Mt. Airy, North Carolina; Elk Creek Virginia; Fries Virginia; and others.

At any rate, I stumbled across this forum accidentally today while searching for recordings of Robert Burns's songs. I've got to play something at a Burns Supper this evening!

It would be good to hear from any of you about what's going on in Old Time music here in the U.K. (and, more specifically, Wales and the Midlands).

Thanks in advance for your help!
