Hi folks,

Following this years success, interest has been shown in holding another Loughstock in 2004 in Portaferry, Co. Down, N.Ireland.

What with the Eurogathering in Hull9 just a few months after, I can understand if people are reluctant to commit to a Norn Ireland gathering, but if there's enough interest I'm happy to go along with it.

For those who couldn't make it, the 2003 gathering was held in February and a fine time was had by all in Fiddlers, Dumigans and Barholm. This year, with a bit more notice, I might even try to get a bit of dancin' thrown together.
Suggested dates: 30st January - 1st February 2004, or 6th - 8th February 2004 (both around about my birthday, which is my main excuse for going home).

Please register your interest in this thread and we'll see if we can make it happen. If so, I'll put a real and proper website with all the details.
There's some photos to check out the 2003 happenings, and read a thread about what went on.
