Fifth Gathering this June..

posterFor the fifth time in succession, the John Martyn Summer Gathering is to be held in Yorkshire. This is a non-profit event that stretches out over the entire weekend of the 22nd, 23rd and 24th of June. Various performing artists have been contracted but one can also expect guitar enthousiasts having workshops (so you can finally work out those tunings). Several people visiting actually knew John so it will prove to be both interesting and amusing. The venue in Hackforth Village is not very big so places are limited and so is the budget. All work is put in voluntarily. So if you have no plans for the weekend or you happen to be in the neighbourhood, this is your chance to meet some cool people. There are folks coming in from the USA, Canada, Switzerland, France and Australia this year.
