I have been listening to some wonderful music from our US colleagues recently. In particular, Sorcha Dorcha and the superb Ten Penny Bit have rarely been off the CD player. (These bands feature Mudcatters In Obu and Robin 2 respectively). Michael R's Greenhouse are pretty good too. I have been thinking wistfully that I wonder when I am going to see and hear them live. Like most 'catters I guess, I have neither the time, resources nor pull to set up tours. On the other hand, I do have a fair amount of local knowledge and can hand on contacts, telephone numbers etc which I could share with any musicians who are likely to be on tour over in these parts. I know that the idea of a Mudcat tour was mooted some time ago and it would do no harm to have another look at that thread and see what useful ideas/concensus came out of it. I am not doing much more than thinking aloud here, but essentially my question is, "What practical help can we offer to other Mudcatters who plan to play in our area?" Who has some bright ideas?
