Just a personal comment that it would be quite cool to see Barry Finn there. . . so if the MUdcat Gathering enables it, then I am for it.

Some other folks, well known to Barry from Mystic and other places, are very likely to be there, but I can't put names up quite yet. . . Watch this space. . . or the festival website. . . .

The group coming from Italy are truly a knockout, with a great bagpipe player (I think it is called something like the zamponi). They are coming to do an event at the Philadelphia Museum of Art and emailed us. . . what a great break. .
