The Home Gathering, Hoult's Yard 16-17th September 2016

#TheGadgees attended both days of  'The Home Gathering' curated by The Unthanks, which should become an annual event.
This was a mini festival relocated, last minute, to Hoults Yard, who did a fantastic job as hosts.
By the nature of the festival, the Gadgees did not see all but found the event fantastic.

Friday 16th September

Richard Hawley & Young'Uns

The Friday evening featured the consummate #RichardHawley supported by #Young'Uns from Teesside, R2 Folk award winners.

Saturday 17th September

The Saurday event offered a musical melange, the following is a selection, non-inclusive, sampled by

#Gadgees.

#TheFurrowCollective

 The #FurrowCollective played an excellent set sampled by #Gadgees more soon when they play@sagegateshead at end of October.

#HorseLoom

Good to see Mr Loom has recovered from a serious hand injury & played a great set including the worst joke of the weekend ..'.Frittering my life away'

The Moulettes

The Moulettes, a hybrid folk-prog rock  band played a vibrant set & good  luck to bassoon player who is leaving to further medical career as doctor!

#Marry Waterson

The sublime voice of Marry Waterson, from the first family of folk music, entranced a packed room. 

Apparently a favourite of @paulsmithmusic. 

The Unthanks

A glorious set from #The Unthanks @TheUnthanks who curated this splendid weekend, @home_gathering which must become  an annual event.

Richard Dawson

  The last set seen by #Gadgees was the gloriously idiosyncratic #RichardDawson, the Geordie progeny of Ivor Cutler/Captain Beefheart, who was watched by many other artists on bill.


Apologies to acts unseen.
