Date: August 19-21
Title: 9th Annual Princeton Traditional Music Festival
Location: Princeton, BC Canada. Princeton is about 300 km (200 miles) E of Vancouver (about a three-hour drive through spectacular landscape).

A free festival, and entirely volunteer-run, open to all performers of traditional music. Two outdoor stages, one indoor. The festival starts Friday night with a free public dance in the town square (this year it's Balkan!). Presentations, workshops, concerts, panels, from 10am to 6 pm Saturday and Sunday. About 120 performers. Glorious countryside (semi-desert, mountains), an ideal vacation spot, too.

No John Gothard this year ? we played in a group together in Liverpool back in the 1970s.

I'm sure John will be with us - he's been at every one of the previous eight festivals. Since we're a free festival, the distinction between "performers" and "others" is very slight. John will certainly sit in the Irish session and the innumerable session sessions over the course of the weekend.

Will you come yourself? (we have in the past had ideas about a "Liverpool singaround" - songs from or mentioning the place. That'd be fun! I could get out my "Lern Yerself Scouse" book.

Jon this is my third attempt to reply ( fingers crossed )

I'll not be with you this year but you never know.I think Fritz Spiegl would have been pleased to know his books got as far as Canada.

If you get the chance say hello to John for me we haven't meet in a long time. Good luck with the festival hope all goes well.
