Chris, we'll be organizing a one-day conference - possibly in Machynlleth and probably a Saturday in October - next year. It'll be set up to compare and discuss discovering historic music manuscripts and republishing them for use today. Cass Meurig will be the Welsh speaker and Mike O'Connor ("Crowthercref" on Mudcat) will come from Cornwall. We're looking for someone from Brittany as well. It will be part academic and part 'practical' and should be interesting.

As Splotty pointed out, there's a list of sessions on the trac website. Sessions being what they are, it isn't easy to say that they'll be in the same place/time by Oct 2008 but I'm sure there will be something of interest somewhere. (And you couldn't have said that 10 years ago; the scene has 'revived' considerably.) Another possibility is sitting in on rehearsals of folk dance teams.

BTW, I took a photo of the side street off Eldon Square, Dolgellau, for you on my mobile camera ... but now I don't know how to get it from there! It's a level of technology which avoids my comprehension ...
