Hi Stallion , sorry to hear about the Operation and I hope all turns out well.
Need to have a "Lessons learned" session , with Plan B's ,contingencies and back up , and try, if it is possible, to keep events within easy walking distance of each other.
Money is tight so I'm sure that persuading pubs to take Folkies and their money ,isn't a difficult selling job !
If it had poured down on Saturday - it was going to be hell of a long drag for Dance musicians (and of course dancers) to get to the pub where the Musicians session was due to happen.
Anyway better luck in future.
