Its a shame you can't fit in a visis to Stratford-upon-Avon, Sorcha, but never mind - I am sure you will have a great time anyway. And I look forward to seeing you at the Yorkshire Gathering, if not elsewhere. Enjoy!
Brill that you might be able to make it, Kendall! But I understand that you can't confirm anything until you have got your whole time sorted out. Let me know when you have. If I you can get to me on Thursday 22 April too, or I can pick you up from wherever that day, there is a great music and singing session at the Fleece Inn at Bretforton in Worcestershire, which is only 25 minutes away. You can never tell exactly who will turn up or what the balance of singing and music will be but its a fantastic place to visit and the beer is great too, with 5 different real ales and a real scrumpy cider! Snuffy and I were both their last night, along with 20+ other musicians/singers, but we decided to call it a day at 1.30 am!
"Abroad for pleasure as I was a-walking ...!"
