Yes, definitely tickets available on the door. And also for anyone who just wants to come for either of the evening concerts (Friday 7:30, Sat 7:00).

Pound notes or cheques (no credit cards!)....

Access Friday from 5:30 (yes, I know I keep harping on about it but we have to respect the school security issues.

Only 6 days to go for the first O.T.Music festival of 2008. and my new Romero Banjo will arrive the week after,sicksicksick.
I have just had an email from Jason and the banjo with a sound clip of it will be on his new web site.
Still it will be in my itchy little hands for the next O.T.M.Festival at Sewerby over the May Day weekend.
Keep your eyes out for more news on the fest as the landlord of the local, is putting on another mini beer festival.
This is in honour of Jim, who last year got all the T-shirts by drinking 3 pints of every ale on stock and there were a lot of different ales.
We have another Dance team to join us this year, and now have our own boards on site.
For those that have been before you will be pleasantly surprised at the changes in the gardens. Tell me if you spot them.
For our friends over the pond if you put Sewerby House and Gardens into Goggle search you will see where we have 2 of our get togethers each year and the best thing about them, are they are free.
Cheers and keep on pluck'n. Oombanjo. Sorry for the cheep plug Nick but as I have to buy the beer!!!!!!!!

The weather is distinctly iffy at the moment - one of my banjo students cancelled his lesson this morning because part of his roof has blown away. I'm sure it'll be better on the festival weekend - it had better be, so I can pitch my big tent by the main gate without hang-gliding over Gainsborough.

The weather looks a bit dodgy there at the moment but the long range holds out some hope for a decent weekend. Typical British obsession with the weather....

How many days John? Its all a blur to me now.

Hello Villan I am in Beverley East Yorks.It was on a trip to Holland to visit my Nephew Who is Dutch "De Waal," and my niece, my sisters daughter, that I first joined Mudcat, this was set up on his computer in Holland, they and their children all call me Oombanjo, you don't have to guess why. They are staying at Bergen Op Zoom and my other nephew is at Kalmthout in Belgium.
There is an Ocarolins Bar in B.O.Z. That we go to on our visits and on one occasion Bill Sables "mudcat" and his group were playing the folk festival there. If you are at Gainsborough over the weekend give me a shout

Hmm, well Villan, the schedule isn't set in stone yet but both Friday night and Saturday nights will feature ALL our 'starring guests' (see above - but of course Fortunato and his wife will be added to that list too...).

Friday night concert starts at 7:30, Saturday's concert starts at 7:00.

Tickets available on the door (well, desk really).

No more trade secrets...

If anybody needs to know what the British version of Old Time music sounds like then have a listen to
Five Miles From Town being played by some of our fiddlers (with me and others on banjo) at our Summer Camp in 2003. Everyone in this recording will be at Gainsborough, jamming through the weekend. The tune is from a great old Kentucky fiddler called Clyde Davenport who's still around and fiddling in his eighties.
Cheers
Ray

At the moment the UK is suffering from a lot of rain. Not sure on the long range but surely it must dry up soon. Luckily - apart from people running from building to building - everything is indoors. Waterproof that hat!

Careful with that knife, Nick, one slip and you've a gelded banjo.
Of course, there are those who'd welcome a reduction in banjo breeding and propigation.

Banjo's breeding, there's a visual for you.

Bruce Hutton always said he played a little banjo, now perhaps I know where he got them.
