Cats at Work:
St. Ives in Cornwall. Sorry, didn't know there was one in Cambridgeshire.

Kendall:
Thanks for the reminder about Cecil Sharp House. We'll have a couple of nights and a day and a half in London, so I'll work that into the plan.

The Beast of Farlington:
I hope to spend my life broadening my mind. I also hope I have enough self-knowledge to be aware of my musical tastes. Traditional folk music is a different genre than modern acoustic music. Lots of people like both. Lots of people don't. I've learned to live with it. I like a lot of modern music, even write some from time to time. But having spent the last 25 years playing English traditional music, I hope to hear some of it in England.

Breezy, Leadfingers, Martin from Barton:
I guess we're not musos or songers. Are there any other oddly named categories? We are both multi-instrumentalists, but we don't go to sessions. We sing, but we're not singer-songwriters. We listen to and play traditional folk music, but we're not traditionalists. This is starting to sound like a riddle. Maybe I'll write a modern acoustic traditional-sounding riddle song about it . . .

Everyone else:
Thanks for all the tips and links. I'll look into them. We're not going to have a car, so our evening activities will be things easily gotten to on foot or with local buses. So we'll probably be staying right in town -- York, Bath, St. Ives. We'll also be at Bardon Mill in Northumbria for a couple of days, so Hexham might be a possibility.

Thanks again,
John Peekstok
