The strange word in the thread title refers to The Friends Of American Old Time Music And Dance whose website is here.

We're having the first of our two major camps this year on the Spring Bank Holiday weekend at Sacrewell Farm, just off the A47 on the Peterborough side of the A1. Here's a map.

We'll be getting there during Friday and leaving Tuesday afternoon, and playing Old Time music for the whole time. There should be around 40 or so folks, mostly good players. It costs, I think, £2.50 per day to camp. There are good facilities and a restaurant for lunches & breakfasts only, and a superb farm museum. It's a large field, but we'll be very easy to spot - fiddles, banjos, guitars, basses, etc. We pick round a campfire in the evening or in the Henhouse if it's wet (much better than it sounds!). Bring your instruments, your voice or just your enthusiasm.

The Southern Appalachians are alive and well in the middle of England, and anyone's welcome.

Cheers
Ray
