SPRATTON FOLK FESTIVAL 2009 YEAH!!!!!

[Maria Hall]

Well I'm just getting the last things done in preparation for travelling down to Spratton Festival for the 2nd Spratton Gathering. I'm harrassed but incredibly excited, so looking forward to meeting all the lovely AFC people, some old friends and some new. For this reason, The Gatherings are always wonderful events, no matter the weather, venue or country. The camaraderie and sharing is the real magic of a Gathering.
It's probably costing me at least £400 and 4 days travelling to drop off my 5 dogs, get to Spratton, then pick up my dogs again after the Festival and finally get home, but I know it's worth all that, just to be part of this wonderful movement.
I really believe we are the future of live, original, music in the 21st century and the real music of the people and that collectively, we are pioneers of true artistic freedom.
