Liz told me in February at Portaferry that she + Manitas + Limpit won't come to Kiel.

Bente said (same time/location) that she plans to come but doesn't yet know for sure.

Sorry Suzanne, won't be there I'm afraid. Real life rears it's ugly head, and I must do other things.
Have fun though!

Houston, we have a problem ... I heard from Greg yesterday that the poor lad has broken his ankle and will be unable to attend the Mudgathering. Sad for him, sad for us, but I hope it'll heal without further complications and give him a few weeks of much needed (even if ill affordable) rest.

Today (yesterday, actually) having been my last working day for two weeks, I'll get round to doing a list this weekend, and also put together some directions to send to those coming to Kiel.

Haven't got round to compiling a new list of those taking part (where is Andy when you need him?).

We were struck by quite a misfortune last Friday night when Hof Akkerboom's "art barn", a barn used for exhibitions and small events, burned down for the second time in five years. We're all feeling a bit downcast, especially as arson cannot be ruled out. (It was definitely arson in 2002.) Thankfully, the main house and the other barn were successfully protected by the fire brigade.

Despite that, I'm looking forward to the gathering and have suggested to Greg that we should try and distribute the sheet music for the dances you are planning to play to all, including the German participants. Likelihood is they'll know many of them in one form or another.

I'm pretty sure I'll be able to make it for the weekend--will confirm shortly.

Can anyone advise on the cost of transporting instruments on flights? Both Aer Lingus and Ryanair upped the price of luggage last week (Dublin airport). On a radio programme discussing this several people phoned in saying they were charged extra for instruments, though they had not been notified of extra charges beforehand. The charges were more than the price of the flight.

I'll try to find out from the airlines but may just travel without instruments.

Looking forward to this...

Hi Susanne.

Myself and 3 other lads from the circuit here are playing at the Strongbow Marquee the the Rathausplatz. I'll probably be playing solo during the afternoons, and then joining the lads for the gigs later in the evenings.

I was there last year as well.

Hope to see you at some stage during the week.

Brendy, where is your gig? Let me know, and I'll try to turn up.

May I remind everybody I have reserved two double rooms in a self-contained flat. So far, Ernest and Alan are interested, while Chas would prefer a single room. This would mean I'll cancel the flat as it would be more expensive for two than a single room. Not sure how many rooms they've got altogehter, though. Any more interested parties, please PM me.

Okay, I have risked reserving an apartment for 4 - 7 May at a guesthouse round the corner (no breakfast, two two-bed rooms, the whole at 85 Eur/night, regardless of number of occupants).

If not enough Mudcatters take up the offer, there is an alternative of individual accommodation at 30 Eur/night.

(Which means even three of you would be paying less in the apartment.)

Please PM me (or eMail me at: skw at worldmusic dot de) WITHIN DAYS if you would like to take up one of these offers as I have to tell them soon.

See here for the previous thread on this topic.

What we have:

Date: 4 - 6 May, 2007

Place: Kiel, Germany (main events at Hof Akkerboom, Kiel-Mettenhof, Stockholmstr 159)

A temporary list of participants with arrival / departure time and residence while in Kiel will be posted shortly.

I'm still waiting for confirmation that they have room, but there is a guest house between my place and Akkerboom that lets individual beds at c. 30 euros, or an apartment for four (two double rooms) for 85 euros altogether. No breakfast, as far as I know. PM me anyone who is interested (Ernest???).
