Augusto, We're all disappointed! But there is a possible alternative, if you're up to camping for a couple of weekends. The weekend of 9th -11th September is Chants de Vielles in Montreal (French trad and HGs for ever) and the following weekend is Greenwood Furnace Folk Gathering in Pennsylvania.which will have an HG track as part of the festivities. Mel Dorries will be there (sorry Mel, I'm speaking for you, lol), or else you could visit him in Michigan. They're all not that far from each other, and I'm sure there are people on the list who you be happy to ferry you from place to place. Just a thought!
You can contact me off-list if you want more information David Gillett On Sun, May 8, 2011 at 8:57 AM, Augusto de Ornellas Abreu <[email protected]> wrote: > oh, no... > just checked the OTW website... and there will NOT be a OTW festival this > year.
