Subject: Morpeth Gathering. Worth Going To? From: GUEST,Fred McCormick Date: 06 Mar 15 - 06:48 AM I've been meaning to tackle the Morpeth Gathering (10th 12th April 2015) for a number of years now. This year it looks like I can actually make it. Unfortunately, the MG website is not very informative. Would anyone care to offer an unbiased opinion as to whether a dyed in the wool traddie like me would find it worth visiting? |

From: Mr Happy Date: 06 Mar 15 - 11:44 AM http://www.northumbriana.org.uk/gathering/ Fred, Never been Many of these do's are on a relatively short time to justify travelling great distances. Consequently I only attend lengthier events which have plenty sessions |

From: GUEST,IanA Date: 06 Mar 15 - 11:59 AM I've been several times, enjoyed singarounds, entered competions, performed in the evening concert and generally enjoyed the friendly atmosphere. There are clog dancing classes, interesting stuff going on in the piping centre, and a lot more. The town seems to be thriving and is certainly populated with warm and welcoming people. One of my most treasured trophies came from there - I won the Border ballad competition and the shield is displayed prominently in my home. It says 'BALLED'. Ian |

Subject: RE: Morpeth Gathering. Worth Going To? From: GUEST,Blandiver (Astray) Date: 07 Mar 15 - 03:39 AM Brilliant. I think a photograph of your BALLED trophy should be posted on the Facebook Northumbrian Gathering Page ASAP! https://www.facebook.com/morpeth.gathering?fref=ts |
