2 – 5:50 pm Symposium in Ed Shed downstairs, the Folk in Gloucester ( a wonderful Tudor building near the Cathedral).
“Anniversaries and Recollections”, it’s the 100th Anniversary of Cecil Sharp’s death and the Travelling Morrice, other anniversaries too, and we can revel in various recollections of pipe and tabor. We are keen to include early photos of taborers and our taborer gatherings if you have any to share, please email Andy Richards at e-mail .
To include talks confirmed so far by Juanma Sanchez, Stephen Rowley (with old photos to go on the Taborers Society Youtube), Mark Perkins, Bill Tuck, Mary-Jo Searle, and Andy Richards with Ollie Simons (pre-recorded).
Please note that this page has yet to be updated with the Symposium Programme.
