Dear Skarpi,

Lady McMoo and I will be there.

I will probably take my mandolin (for certain) and reso-guitar (but maybe my octave mandola, not sure yet).

Peace

moo

WHooo hooo - really looking forward to seeing you both... I've just booked our room (flight was booked in August!) and am absurdly excited to see you will both be there.

If any of you need bed space in London, let us know, we can always find space for Catters.

I can't remember how many of us there were last year! 20 maybe? Some of us sneaked away to see Planxty, but that won't happen next time, because they're not playing. We will be though! We're going to have a big rip-roaring Irish session (all morris tunes are banned - or do I mean bad?) ;-) Oh, we might let the odd English one sing, but only under responsible adult supervision....

(I am getting very narrowminded in my musical tastes these days. I really must be more open to other genres than "Irish fiddle".)

Am very interested in making the trip up from Dublin. Wondering what sort of accomodations are available and what the agenda is. Thanks
