Ya'll are brilliant! (See I am learning to speak the local language, but when I hit translate, it doesn't seem to get into Ammurican)So Manchester and East Yorkshire are definately on the must do list. As are the Trad sessions in London, if the time works out.
Folk Works sounds like toads of fun, but it is the one time that I have an obligation.

I will be in London for sure Thursday and Friday (3rd and 4th) and I plan on some tunes to brush off the jet lag.

Did I mention that I am a dance caller (contra and southern hash squares)? Perhaps I should bring some dances with me.
