Snowbird this seems excellent, I take it that Gary Miller is doing the Saturday. I remember seeing Gary and his brother with Whiskey Priests, and believe they are still giging, would like to see them again.

Yes they do still do the odd gig .... I'll pass the message on and get Gary to post a message to you on mudicat if you like.

Gary is doing the Saturday - but will be there for all the workshop days - even when we have another singer / songwriter visiting
