Hi, Keith and Welcome. Glad you've decided to join us. You will get plenty of responses, but I'd like to recommend that you go back through these threads a read them at random for an idea of what we are all like and up to.

I am in Wyoming in the US and I know we have one or two Morris dancers this side of the pond; we also have many UK Mudcatters, on ein particular, Sam Pirt, who is superb on the accordion, just put out a CD with another UK member, Bill Sables.

Some good threads would be Spancil Hill; Music Therapy; Why we sing; Mudcat Tavern threads 1-11 (one of them was a "pub" instead; there are bunches.

At the beginning of the threads, right next to where it says "refresh" you can set the filter box back as far as a year, then hit refresh; this will bring up titles of all threads posted in that time. That's when it gets really fun. Just remember it is important to have a sense of humour.

Again, welcome and have fun!
