And Raabiah makes one more to the grumpy northerners Sounds like Manchester it
is, which is great by me so long as you don't all start playing what's the story morning glory on your ouds.
So let's talk dates. So far, I think the only suggestion has been from Leon and these were end May beginning of June. I'm afraid I'm probably abroad
between the 25th May and 6th June unfortunately. I also probably can't make the week of the 7th April but otherwise could make pretty much any weekend
between April and the end of August. BUT things come up for me at fairly short notice. I would really love to come but if something comes up then I
might have to drop out, so if Leon's dates are the only ones that suit the rest, go ahead and plan and I'll do the best I can.

Hi I'm not fixed on the dates I said - they are just suggestions to get the ball rolling. Summer hols are good for me but I'm not sure when (or where)
we're going away this year. I'll fit in to others - but if we wait for good weather the summer may provide an oh so narrow gap for all of us.

Michael lives in Darton, just south of Barnsley. I'm sure he'd welcome a visit any time you are up there.

Greetings all, apologies for not chiming in sooner. Likewise , Awad, been extremely busy with family and work. It would have to be weekend for me so
if your talking 23-27th June then not possible for me.
Awad buddy, give us a call. I hope you're getting your arms round your Moussa oud ok

hi, the reason that i suggested on 23-27 is because of the iraqi music week happening in soas conducted by ehsan el imam (6pm-9pm). there will be a
master class on iraqi oud playing technique/style and concert too. but if you guys wanna do it later also is ok for me as I will be in london til 13th
july.
thanks

Hi Fyenix and all
The only problem with London is that, surprisingly, none of us seem to live there so noone can play host. I can make an afternoon some time next week
but would need to know when, to arrange my schedule. Can you manage a room at SOAS?
I was seriously considering inviting anyone who could to Oxford, where I've recently moved and which is a short bus trip from London, but I'm afraid
things are just a bit too manic next week. Another time though, this might be a pretty central venue and I have plenty of floor space, though not much
furniture so we would have to do it all araby style. If anyone is interested in arranging this later on in the summer, (August/September), let me
know.

hey all- I'm in the process of moving around, and so later in the year might be better for me too to try and make it to any UK oud summit. Hope we can
sort out a location convenient to all of us. cheers, MW
