I just thought it might be a good idea for catters to tell everyone what they have been up to through the summer. Some of the main things in my summer have been Holmfirth, Beverly and Whitby folk festival. At most of these festivals I have been booked with AAAAG 'An Accordion And A Guitar'. I have had so much fun at everyone, playing in the food tents till 5 or 6 in the morning. The last two weeks have been mad though. I spent a week at the FABULOUS FOLKWORKS YOUTH SUMMER SCHOOL which lasts a week and you learn tons of tunes teqnics and make lots of great friends. Though the week a great 13 piece band from Norway called 'CHATEAU NEUF SPELEMANNSLAG ' were there performing and running workshops, the highlight of my whole perfoming career the came up , when there accordionist had to go back to Norway and they asked me to stand in for her. I then did 3 gigs with them. I have also just come back from Whitby Folk week which was excellent, full of music and very busy but a great time was had by many people. Its not over yet there's still Fylde and Otley festival to go!!

Cheers, Sam

Whats everyone else been up to then?
