The Gathering '12

Now into its tenth year, The Gathering begins the UK's didjeridu festival season and is a great chance to catch up with old friends from all around the UK, make some new ones and listen to what everyone's been doing with their didjes over the winter break. The dates are Saturday 5th and Sunday 6th May 2012.

Line-up

Hans Karssen, Richie Bridge, Irish John, Gavin Blench, Food for Thought, Mog, Sam I Am, Cephalodidge, DidgBeat George, John Thorpe, Paul Hay, Jonny Cope, Kyle Maplesden, Alchemist Wardrobe, Markus Meurer, Tall Paul, Sally Sunbeam, and more to be announced.

The Gathering is also unique in that there are no set performances over the weekend, it's pretty much a non-stop, didje oriented open mic & jam session. You'll not only get a chance to listen to some great musicians but you can also get up and perform yourself in front of a friendly & receptive audience.

Many of the UK's top didje players will be there joining in and also giving various workshops throughout the weekend for different abilities and styles of playing.

Family friendly

A really friendly and welcoming family atmosphere in a beautiful countryside setting. There will also be stalls with some great didjes for you to try and buy.
