Hi guys, It's time for you to start booking and me to start planning for Folk Gathering in September (www.folkgathering.com). We will have a pavilion to ourselves and for a couple of workshops, and I'm hoping you will all mix in with the other players and workshops (I recommend "Tunes that are Cooler than They are Hard" - it has a couple of gurdy-friendly tunes).
I'm planning to lead (notice I say "lead", not "teach"!) a couple of repetoire workshops, so please let me know if there are any particular tunes you would like to learn or share so that I can work up some teaching materials. Let me know if you have any other ideas for workshops, and if you would be willing to lead the workshop. As you know, Augusto de Ornellas Abreu is coming all the way from Brazil! That means we need a good turnout to show him some good American hospitality, so please keep this in mind when you decide to register. This is an outdoor/camping weekend, but there are excellent toilet/shower facilities, and the catering is excellent. There is provision for RV parking, if you are so fortunate. We also have full use of the large Visitor Center and a large two-room barn for the other workshops, plus the nearby Church (Sunday morning Hymn Sing), so we can all move indoors if the weather is uncooperative. Please let me know if you are coming, and please pass the word amongst your friends, even the non-gurdy ones! The more the merrier, and it will encourage the organizers if we bring in more people to the event.
