Alright then! John, Thomas, you will be nagadou 2.
John has the material, Thomas – you will get it once we start practicing. Sarah and me have already learnt Nagadou 1 for last year’s ETC.

I think a dojo is something we should start looking into – and check out the two organisations mentioned by Yanis. For now we do not have enough regular income to change our frugal practice habits! but in a year’s time, who knows. To rent a big space I would like to have a year’s rent in the bank in advance. Otherwise the stress is too much. Would you guys be happy to put your own drums in a dojo when we have it?

I too would like to support 1-2 charities for free, such as the ty-hafan one. We could also raise money gor playing 2 hours if Sarah would rather drum than run 😀.
As for gigs in festivals lets play it by ear as we did for the chilli festival. Expenses should be payed to drivers unless they decline. Maybe next time we give a quote to an out of town gig we should quote separately for travel.
My personal preferance is not to travel too far and keep it local and easy. Somewhere between Gower and Ogmore by Sea!

I would think the drums should be small – so Hiras will be my first choice.
