Well once again here comes the Gainsborough (Lincolnshire) old time music and dance festival. This year it's a week earlier being the 8th to 10th February at Castle Hills School, The Avenue, Gainsborough.

Guests this year are Piney Woods, a band featuring Kate Lissauer, Dave and Tim Bing and Jim Martin. They will be admirably supported by fellow Americans Adam Hurt and Beth Hartness. Holding up the UK honours will be the Down Trodden String Band and the Kitty Hawks. Dancers will have the pleasure of Kerry Fletcher's tuition and Kerry will be supported by fiddler Tim Brooks.

And if all goes according to plan we expect to have Mudcat's very own Fortunato and Suzette with with parts of their Shiver Show.

All that and more (as we always say!).... almost continuous sessioning, a bar, hot food, indoor (and outdoor - brrr!) camping (and no, you can't pitch a tent in the gymnasium, just make up a pallet on the floor as the song goes.
