Wassail, wassail, wassail.....!

Hi all, it's that time of year again! I hope all you readers have a super holiday season and a happy, healthy new year. I am looking forward to a week or so off. 'Nellie' can have a new set of strings and the neighbours the restbite care they so well deserve!
My old Arthur-rite-us is not getting any better but have now found some pain relief that does not space me out so roll on 2012. I am going to try and make the next twelve months a gig and festival year and hope to see many of you out and about. The only ones I can confirm at the moment are Beverley Festival, Whitby Folk Week and Otley Folk Festival with more to add soon.
A gig to look forward to on Sun 1st April 2012 at Leeds Town Hall is Christy Moor (not to be missed) I'm sure he has many more dates, check out http://www.christymoor.com/ for details. He is well worth a listen.
Come the new year I am going to start a 'player of the month' section. Who better to start with than Barney (Banjo Barney) McKenna of 'Dubliners' fame so looking forward to that. Also, while out wandering the streets during 2012 I will be collecting for 'Hounds for Hero's', a really worthwhile charity, more of which at a later date.
It's time for the off and yet ANOTHER glass of wine, bye for now, Phil
